    Saturday, April 05, 2025

    • Brush: Chisel & Hound “Spice Lily” - TurnNShave Tuxedo 26mm synthetic
    • Razor: Merkur - 34C
    • Blade: Gillette - Perma-Sharp (1)
    • Lather: Chicago Grooming Company - No. 11
    • Post Shave: Spearhead Shaving Company - 3 Scots Aftershave splash
    • Post Shave: Ginger’s Garden - Unscented Aftershave balm (+ menthol)
    • Fragrance: Chanel - Égoïste EdT

    My first shave with a CGC soap went incredibly well. Great base that was easy to dial in, super slick, and the scent on No. 11 was super relaxing.

    I reached for the 34C because of all the recent chatter around the RR GOAT (which I’m super excited to try). It’s still such a solid razor. I might prefer something more aggressive at this point, but I’ve spent so much time with this razor in the past that it’s like shaving on easy mode.

    Have a great Saturday, y’all.

    Sextidi 16 Germinal an 233 de la Révolution, jour de Laitue

    Good and close shave, but I should maybe refresh the edge on the razor.

    Have a good evening!

    • Razor: GEM - MMOC (first gen, 1930-1932)
    • Blade: Personna - GEM PTFE (9)

    • Post Shave: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Sea Spice Lime Aftershave splash
    • Post Shave: Stirling - Glacial Unscented Aftershave balm
    • Fragrance: Barrister and Mann - Lavender, Interrupted EdT

    Quick single pass before heading into the city for dinner with some of my wife’s colleagues.

    After shaving with this sample of Lime, I’m very tempted to grab a set. It’s both an incredibly realistic lime scent and surprisingly complex and deep. Super impressed by this one.

    Den tour day 13 maybe

    Same gear.

    Soap- Stirling varen. Now this is a deep and funky fougere. I like fougere but there’s a tiny bit of burn from the oakmoss.

    Rankings worst to best

    panta rei gattopardo - poor performance and a bit of burn caties bubbles le marche du rasage - nice scent but it burns bodyshop maca root and aloe - good for a brick and mortar shop signature capra - good performance but who likes unscented mitchells woolfat - see above. Also about to leave my den to cross the pond elysium pineapple ambrosia - scent dry down is a bit odd

    From here on the scents are all good.

    wickham gothic revival - decent scent but not my favourite soap grooming dept mallard corretto - like a black forest gateaux but too sweet for me wickham ninfeo di egeria - light and bright. This one has grown on me and id be tempted to do a tub kill to really get to know it. Soap performance lets it down Stirling varen - great scent but a bit of burn signature brittania - simple but effective Mammoth smash - touch too sweet for me but I love it MdC fougere - great soap and scent barrister and mann sandalwood - top tier scent and soap
