    • Brush: Chisel & Hound Classic 26mm V23 Fanchurian

    • Razor: Iwasaki 13/16" Full Hollow Square Point Tamahagane

    • Lather: Zingari Man - Mousse Illuminée - Soap

    • Toner: Thayers - Lavender - Toner

    • Aftershave: Zingari Man - Mousse Illuminee - Aftershave

    • Fragrance: Floris of London - Elite - Eau de Toilette

    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


    I just started to see the bottom of the tub with this soap. I guess I like it a lot. I certainly enjoyed it today. Wonderful scent, and also a great soap base which provided a foundation for the Iwasaki to effortlessly slide through stubble.

    Enjoy your weekend!

    Fougère Friday: Passiflora Trifecta

    • Brush: Trotter Handcrafts Souls 26mm Manchurian T1 Badger Knot
    • Razor: Ever-Ready Jewel Streamline (1949-1953)
    • Blade: Personna GEM PTFE [12]
    • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Passiflora - Soap (Omnibus)
    • Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Passiflora - Splash

    I had other plans for the shave today, but when I woke up, Passiflora is what I was craving. It never disappoints.

    • Brush: Summer Break Soaps w/Maggard 28mm Silvertip Badger
    • Razor: MMOC Gen 2
    • Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (5)
    • Lather: Barrister & Mann - Petrichor - Soap
    • Post Shave: Southern Witchcrafts - Incorporeal - Aftershave

    This shave clicked. I don’t know if it was the blade being on #5 (around this time is a normal sweet spot in my experience), or using a better soap, or a combination of the two, but this shave was pretty much effortless.

    • Brush: Zenith 506B MB (27 mm × 55 mm Manchurian badger)
    • Razor: Fatip - Lo Storto - Testa Dentata
    • Blade: Derby Extra
    • Lather: Abbate y la Mantia – Don Josè
    • Post Shave: Ralon – Sport
    • Fragrance: Stirling Soap Co. – Island Man

    I’ve determined that Don Josè is the perfect scent for a lazy beach hotel vacation, so I keep running with it. I paired it with a banana-coconut smoothie at the breakfast buffet, except I had to substitute the coconut for lack of coconuts. Life is full of tough choices.
