On theme with SSL, a wonderful spring/summer scent. I just wish I had the EdT.
I was pleasantly surprised by how this Maggard brush performed. It’s a solid little synth. Super easy to lather, no fuss. Can’t complain!
Have a good one y’all!
If it’s the sort of tan colored synthetic from Maggard, that’s my favorite knot (or at least it’s my most used knot).
It’s this one. Pleasantly surprised
SSL is so good. The EdT is really nice, too.

While technically not an actual spring scent, there are vague connections in my brain that I’ve made that remind me of spring last year. Close enough!
Shave tour day 9
Same gear
Bodyshop aloe and maca root shave cream
Probably the best ‘drugstorre’ product. It gives a decent shave probably because it’s a cream and so easy for numptys to load. Properly.

Artisan Brand ∑ Spearhead Shaving Co. 12 Stirling Soap Co. 12 Catie’s Bubbles 11 Barrister and Mann 10 House of Mammoth 10 Talent Soap Factory 10 Summer Break Soaps 7 Total: 72 Absolutely wonderful shave today with The Fat (tallow), the smooth Dandy, old-school Hâttric, and the new-to-me Chubby super badger that I bought off @archsoup on the r/wetshaving discord. The Super Badger is even softer than my already soft manchurian, but it’s so dense that the backbone is still there. It lathered The Fat like a champ and I’m glad I bought it. It occurred to me that even though none of the hardware or software used today is vintage, this shave could have happened half a century ago and looked exactly the same. No recent modern technology required to get a good shave.
