- Brush: Semogue Owner’s Club (cherry wood and boar)
- Razor: Heljestrand 14 (7/8", full hollow, carbon steel)
- Lather: Le Père Lucien – Cologne Fougère
- Post Shave: Mennen – Skin Bracer
- Fragrance: House of Mammoth – Tobacconist
Really enjoying this sweet green LPL fougère. I’m continuing my run through all my 14-style razors in impatient anticipation of the Moarteen. The Heljestrand is my latest addition to the family, and it’s a loose interpretation of the 14 form factor: the grind seems heavier than Filarmónica, Henckels (including Friodur) and Böker 14s, and it lacks the typical lightly curved spine and slight smile, a bit like the Thiers Issard version.

Superlative 3 pass shave from the Legacy. It’s such a good razor.
The shoat knot is finally starting to feel well broken in. Quite nice to use as long as I load enough soap.
I like Mike’s. I hope to pick up Vetiver when it’s back in stock.

- Post Shave: Brut - Splash On

I like the Fatip Gentile a lot. It’s a nice mild razor. Maybe not as efficient a Tech, but pretty darn good.
Do you have a goal in mind for this blade?
Nope, just using it because it’s great and I’m not bored of it yet.

Primidi 21 Germinal an 233 de la Révolution, jour de Gainier
- Brush: Yaqi 26mm Synthetic Bingcha (Iced Tea)
- Razor: Puma 100
- Lather: Lainess (Le Père Lucien) Blue Pearl
- Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel
- Postshave: Eau Après-Rasage Blue Pearl
- Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm
Forgot to post this yesterday. The soap is good, but I can’t really identify individual notes. I should put my Puma back on the stones. The aftershave (which contains horse milk) is surprisingly alcoholic, and had a good sting to it.
@djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social, the soap is on the way, with triplicate customs declaration!
Yayyy, many thanks!

- Post Shave: Seaforth! - Heather
I get a note from Heather that reminds me of anise, but it’s not listed as one. Spearhead Shaving Company Seaforth! Heather - Notes: Oakmoss, Bergamot, Lavender, Coumarin, Clary Sage, Geranium. Which one of these would I be detecting?
I find the Clary Sage to be pretty strong in Heather. It doesn’t smell like anise, but maybe it has a similar sort of “sharpness” to it.
Yeah I think you’re right. Not the same scent but that initial sharpness off the top.
