    26.10.2024 - Saturday Strathcona shenanigans

    • Brush: AP Shave Co. black & clear handle w/ 30 mm Tuxedo Fan knot
    • Razor: Leaf Thorn
    • Blade: snapped KCG
    • Lather: MacDuff’s Soap Co. - Old Strathcona (sample)
    • Post-Shave: OAM sensitive skin toner; Capanova Natural aftershave repair balm

    -> 2 passes on the dome, 1 for the neck and cheek lines. A really great shave!

    Hadn’t posted in a while since a few shaves were boring shower shaves with a cartridge. Feels good to use something proper again! I felt in the mood for a barbershop scent, but couldn’t decide - so I used a chunk of the huge sample @sahenders@sub.wetshaving.social graciously provided to us for BVWSC N°2. I lathered it up in a new candle coaster I got myself (the old lid I’ve been using has finally RIP’d). Lo and behold, it worked great. MacDuff’s base is really a treat and gladly I experience no irritation from the Oak moss.

    Today’s aftershave balm is a new one I bought on Friday, it’s by a natural cosmetics brand that seems to be on clearance sale. The balm has a gel-like texture and absorbed very quickly. It unfortunately contains alcohol, but also lots of skin food ingredients to balance that out. Only downside is that it makes my dome shine like I polished it, so it’s only getting used for late shaves 😅

      Macduffs’ base is truly fantastic. I’m glad the oakmoss is not irritating to you.

        Thanks for suggesting it! Such a unique take on the barbershop genre and a very good base on top 👍🏻
