    • Brush: AP Shave Co. - 24mm Synbad Fan
    • Razor: Chiseled Face - Legacy Raw Titanium (#69)
    • Blade: Feather New Hi-Stainless (5)
    • Lather: Barrister & Mann - Roam Two - Soap
    • Post Shave: Barrister & Mann - Lyssa - Aftershave

    Three new samples/smushes arrived yesterday, so I’ve been enjoying some thrill.

    First let’s talk about the soap base. This soap is in Veggiebus, the vegan version of Omnibus. The lather is indistinguishable from the animal ingredient version, which is pretty cool! Maybe if I did a side by side comparison I’d notice some difference, but this looks the same, takes a metric ton of water, and it’s super creamy and slick.

    Next, the scent. This is not OG Roam. Initially off the sample I got a hit of something that leans sharp and synthetic, and it made me think of Electric Mayhem. Over time, though, my nose has learned how to smell more depth in the scent.

    There are some scents that I just have to learn to love, and I do think I’ll learn to love this one over the next few shaves with it.
