    Mon 23 Sep 2024: Sweet Fall 🍂

    • Brush: Semogue Owner’s Club (cherry wood and boar) (53)
    • Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur 17 (NOS, 7/8", hollow ground, stainless steel)
    • Lather: Southern Witchcrafts – Autumn Ash
    • Post Shave: Southern Witchcrafts – Autumn Ash
    • Fragrance: Southern Witchcrafts – Autumn Ash

    @PorkButtsNTaters666@sub.wetshaving.social brought out the Ash yesterday and sparked a little crisis/opportunity moment in me. On the one hand “oh, fuck, summer is over, we’re past the equinox, let’s check the vitamin D reserves”, on the other: Autumn Ash 🎉 !

    Today, I’m mouthwateringly sweet, spicy, and smoky. I love the SW base, and I’m looking forward to more of it now that it’s SW season again.

      Since the autumnal equiox was yesterday, I intended to use Autumn Ash yesterday. But I forgot. So I was definitely going to use it today … but I forgot.

      Autumn Ash++;

    • Brush: AP Shave Co. - 24mm Synbad Fan
    • Razor: Chiseled Face - Legacy Raw Titanium (#69)
    • Blade: Bolzano Superinox (Egypt) (8)
    • Lather: Barrister & Mann - Roam Two - Soap
    • Post Shave: Old Spice - Hawkridge - Aftershave

    Only 2 passes because I’ll have to shave again later today (or maybe wake up really early tomorrow morning) for work. I prefer 3 passes :)

    This blade is exceeding my expectations. I don’t know why, but I just assumed moving manufacturing from Germany to Egypt would result in a worse blade. They’re slightly different based on my earlier side-by-side testing, but the new ones are worthy of my support.

    Roam Two++ is very different from OG Roam, but it’s a fantastic scent.

        Thank you! I bought this brush from Ben, so it has a special significance using it with HoM sets.

      Yes, MacDuff’s was a very pleasant surprise to me. I intend to unload some soaps and buy some of this brand.
