2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
If you enjoy a hot very humid sauna, then the mid-Atlantic states are a great place to be. There are worse areas, but it is only a matter of degree. So, not a dry heat. Anyway, even though it is a tobacco-related scent, Shire is perfect for this. That’s totally counterintuitive, but it is.
Shire is great for hot weather IMO. So fresh

Wednesday, July 10, 2024: Megalodon Mittwoch
- Preshave: Proraso Green Preshave
- Brush: Semogue C3 Galahad Horse 🐎
- Razor: Ertan Süer L’Ours Russe (7/8th)
- Lather: HAGS Megalodon
- Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel
- Postshave: Floid The Genuine
- Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm
Another Wednesday, another Megalodon. The Hathor milk-based base is really very good, and the Russian Bear is also a very smooth shaver (it’s less hollow than my other razors, and I kind of like it).
Have a good night!
Have you tried a near wedge?
The Sparsthwein is a near-wedge, no?
Nope that’s almost full hollow. Ulrik describes it as Sheffield-style full hollow.
See here for the difference:
Sauce: Koraat
Roaming Humpday
- Brush: Zenith r/Wetshaving exclusive MOAR BOAR (31 mm × 57 mm bleached boar)
- Razor: GEM Micromatic Open Comb (second generation, Djudge razor)
- Blade: Personna GEM PTFE
- Lather: Barrister and Mann – Roam
- Post Shave: Barrister and Mann – Roam
- Fragrance: House of Mammoth – Shire 2
I recently got a sample of Roam Two, so a djudicially coordinated OG Roam shave with u/EldrormR is perfect to remind me before trying the reinterpretation. Roam Two has big shoes to fill.
Lovely shave with the Djudge Razor, the M❤AR B❤AR, and Soft Heart.
Shire is Roam before the rain.
Roam++
Roam Two++
Looking forward to forming my own opinion on that second point thanks to you!

- Brush: Maggard 24mm Synthetic
- Razor: Chiseled Face - Legacy Raw Titanium (#69)
- Blade: Polsilver Super Iridium (8)
- Lather: Barrister & Mann - Pencil Pusher - Soap
- Post Shave: Summer Break Soaps - Woodshop - Aftershave
Pencil Pusher does smell like a freshly sharpened pencil. Initially I thought maybe it was too sweet, but once I lathered it, it’s more accurate. Nice work, B&M!
A few months ago there was someone on Reddit asking if there’s a scent that smells like pencils. And there is a scent that’s exactly that. Maybe it was an Alt account from Will? A little teaser?
Maybe it was an Alt account from Will?
Ooh, interesting, do you have the link for forensics?
Yes, I went back and answered the guy! I think he’s a real person, not an alt. https://www.reddit.com/r/Wetshaving/comments/1bbw9yh/march_madness_sotd_thread_mar_11_2024/kuepxq7/
Yup, that one seemed real.
