      2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

    A great shave today and I’m posting very late. Again, I almost forgot.

    Now that I know that Desert Vetiver has a grapefruit note, I can find it pretty readily, and with my penchant for renaming fragrances, I’m tempted to start calling this Dessert Vetiver. Awesome, well crafted, scent!

    • Brush: Maggard 24mm Synthetic
    • Razor: Blackland Era - Level 3 SB
    • Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (2)
    • Lather: Central Texas Soaps - Cherry Pipe - Soap
    • Post Shave: Chatillon Lux - Weinstrasse - Aftershave
    • Post Shave: House of Mammoth/Declaration Grooming - Cerberus - Liniment

    Weinstrasse aftershave has given me frag and/or menthol burn in the past. I used to have the soap and had no problem with it. In general I like to water down CL aftershaves/toners, so I did that today and it seemed to make the frag/menthol burn go away. For now I’ll keep it, since I love the scent. I’m willing to alter my application technique if it means I get to keep using it.

    I like the Central Texas soap base. It’s a tad on the poofy side, but turns really nice when you add a bunch of water to it.

    Bay Rum Pum Pum Pum 🎶

    • Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts Papa Eld with Declaration Grooming B3 knot
    • Razor: Dovo Bismarck 2 (7/8", full hollow, carbon steel)
    • Lather: Barrister and Mann Bay Rum
    • Aftershave: Barrister and Mann Bay Rum
    • Fragrance: Stirling Soap Co Bay Rum
    • Talc: Pinaud Clubman Finest Powder

    Oops, super busy day and I almost missed my SOTD post. This tub of soap was on my 2021 kill list. It’s mostly full. Ugh.

    Fun little thing I saw now looking at the SOTD pic: The bevel is mirror polished (duh, but:) and in this picture it becomes very visible because the word RUM of the balm label is reflected on it. Neat!
