Share your Shave of the Day for Monday!
October 27th, 2025
- Brush: Maggard Razors - Tuxedo 24mm Synthetic
- Razor: GEM Micromatic Open Comb
- Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (5)
- Lather: Noble Otter - Batters Up - Soap
- Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Petrichor - Aftershave
Excellent shave. I used Stirling Soap Co. "Dirt" bar soap in the shower before shaving. It is very similar to B&M's Petrichor (rip), but it's much more synthetic smelling to me. Petrichor is superior in my book, but it's still sort of fun! Dirt!
Dirt did sound fun to me

Sample kill. I thought I had already finished this sample but it was hiding at the back of the sample drawer. It gave me a super slick shave.
Have a good day!
Leviathan is gnarly. Do you like the scent?
I do. I’m considering getting a tub of it.
October 27th, 2025: Mike's Monday
- Brush: Summer Break Soaps "Elyria" - TurnNShave v9 Tip 28mm Badger
- Razor: RazoRock Game Changer .76-P
- Blade: Wizamet Super Iridium (1)
- Lather: Mike's Natural Soaps - Orange, Cedarwood, & Black Pepper - Soap
- Post Shave: Summer Break Soaps - Steady - Aftershave
- Post Shave: Oleo & Co. - Facial Toner - Toner
- Fragrance: GLHF Workshop - Polyphemus - EdT
This was a fantastic combination of scents. The woody-fruity soap and splash paired wonderfully with the sweetness in Polyphemus (which is a dupe of Xerjoff Naxos).
An excellent start to the week. Have a good Monday, all!
Once I kill my This is Not a Test tub, Mike’s Vetiver is on the chopping block next. Need to start using my OCBP more.
My OCBP is probably a couple weeks from death. I’m not sure if I’m ready yet.
