Share your shave of the day!
February 17, 2024
- Brush: Stirling 24mm Synthetic
- Blade: Cien Men 2-Blade Cart (6)
- Lather: Noble Otter - Batters Up - Soap
- Post Shave: Spearhead - Seaforth! Heather - Toner
- Post Shave: Goodfellow & Co. - Face Lotion - Kelp & Sea Mineral
Went to Mertz/Smallflower/Q-Brothers with VisceralWatch yesterday and he enabled me to increase my soap count.
Batters Up may not smell “good” or “nice”, but it’s squarely in my wheelhouse. The tarred maple bat note is pretty prominent.
Saturday, February 17, 2024: Barbarossa!
- Preshave: Proraso Green Preshave
- Brush: Semogue C3 Galahad Horse 🐎
- Razor: Dovo Barbarossa Stainless
- Lather: Stirling Arcadia
- Postshave: Terre d’Hermès After Shave Lotion
- Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm
I’m back to toying (no pun intended) with the Barbarossa. Since it’s so small, I thought I would try a 1-1 grip on the razor – which was a terrible idea, and I promptly cut myself. So consider yourself warned. Other than that, it was actually a nice shave.
I got the Terre d’Hermès after shave as a gift, and I’m not that impressed with the bottle itself. The neck is too short and not that functional, and the faux-metal on the plastic cap is rotting off, leaving a blackish residue. It still smells very good, though – but I guess that you get better value with the Stirling after shave.
Have a nice day!
