    Teaching A&E

    • Brush: Zenith r/Wetshaving exclusive MOAR BOAR (31 mm × 57 mm bleached boar)
    • Razor: Filarmonica 14 Doble Temple (8/8", extra full hollow, carbon steel)
    • Lather: Summer Break — Soaps Valedictorian
    • Aftershave: Summer Break — Soaps Valedictorian
    • Fragrance: House of Mammoth — Shire 2
    • Talc: Borotalco

    This one’s hard: on the one hand, I have rocket who’s very active on the sub and makes two of my favourite Wetshaving scents with Valedictorian and Teacher’s Pet (🪦RIP⚰️), and on the other hand a 50% chance of frag burn. Mhmmmmm.

    Now this may be a bit oversimplified, and I really enjoy l’Orange Verte and Peaches & Cognac, but Valedictorian is up there with Shire, Thé Noir et Vanille, and Black Watch in my list of all time favourites.

    Borotalco is a new addition to my den. I wanted to try a talc that’s actually made of talc, and I do like this one. It seems a bit less prone to big puffs of powder than Pinaud Clubman.

      Yes, the Yardley products have actual talc in them too. I don’t get talc bombs from them nearly as often as I do from Pinaud. I admit that I’m a little hooked on the talc finish; especially for a shave that includes a Fili 14 and Valedictorian :)

        Yeah, the talc adds a little extra pampering☺️

        Valedictorian is a great scent. Evokes a similar nostalgia as Shire for me.

        (My phone keeps autocorrecting “Shire” to “Shite”, and it’s cracking me up more than it should😅)
