Post Shave: Catie’s Bubbles - DFTR Aftershave splash
Post Shave: Stirling - Glacial Unscented Aftershave balm
Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company - Leather EdT
We’re doing a passaround of this S1 silvertip brush. It got to me yesterday morning after I’d shaved, so this is my first go. All I can say is damn, this thing is just about perfect. The knot has ridiculously soft tips, basically perfect density (not too much, not too little), and produced an excellent lather.
This was also my first shave with Elysian “Green Fig” (smush graciously provided by u/socialkittielynx), which was also lovely. Not overly sweet, with a pleasant green woody brightness that felt perfect for a stormy spring morning. The base was also dead simple to lather, taking as much water as I wanted to give it. I’ll probably pick up a tub of Elysian at some point, very impressed. It combined really well with DFTR.
