Brush: Boti Motherlode knot in laminated wooden handle, 30mm
Razor: GEM Micromatic Clog-Pruf Peerless (gen 2)
Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (1)
Lather: Southern Witchcrafts Carpathia
Aftershave: House of Mammoth/Noble Otter/Declaration Grooming Cerberus Fougère
Fragrance: Terre d’Hermès Eau Intense Vétiver
Nice shave with the Peerless variant of the Clog-Pruf. This second generation has completed 75% of the metamorphosis from the (OC[MM)OC]'s open comb to the Flying Wing/Bullet Tip’s toothless safety bar, and it shaves very much like a gen 1 Clog-Pruf.
The scent combo today is a bit of a lucky find because I didn’t think of those fragrances as related, but the woody notes in Carpathia and Cerberus Fougère make a nice bridge from the warm tea to the green, and Eau Intense Vétiver just fits in.

Another very interesting curation. If the scent isn’t too citrus or gourmand, I think EIV just always works.
Yeah, it’s surprisingly versatile
