2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
I have celebrated a lot of Black WatchDays. It doesn’t get old. Amazing shave today.
You are diversifying your talc? I might have to try it out once.
Yes, it is still an experiment for me. I like the talc finish. The fragrances are very subtle, and I’m not certain that having a variety is worth it.

Good shave. New product today is definitely different than my normal. I’ll be a bit reserved it’s not terrible and I believe it could grow on me. The scent is very earthy but I’m having trouble picking it apart.

- Preshave: Proraso Green Preshave

- Razor: Star 1912 Type Razor
- Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (14)
- Lather: Southern Witchcraft Autumn Ash
- Post Shave: Floid The Genuine

I finally stopped worrying about, and learned to love, alliterations. The Star provides a very close and comfortable shave, and the blade is still in good shape.
Have a nice evening!
Micromatic 4/7: Carpathian Witchcrafts
- Brush: Boti Motherlode knot in laminated wooden handle, 30mm
- Razor: GEM Micromatic Clog-Pruf Peerless (gen 2)
- Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (1)
- Lather: Southern Witchcrafts Carpathia
- Aftershave: House of Mammoth/Noble Otter/Declaration Grooming Cerberus Fougère
- Fragrance: Terre d’Hermès Eau Intense Vétiver
Nice shave with the Peerless variant of the Clog-Pruf. This second generation has completed 75% of the metamorphosis from the (OC[MM)OC]'s open comb to the Flying Wing/Bullet Tip’s toothless safety bar, and it shaves very much like a gen 1 Clog-Pruf.
The scent combo today is a bit of a lucky find because I didn’t think of those fragrances as related, but the woody notes in Carpathia and Cerberus Fougère make a nice bridge from the warm tea to the green, and Eau Intense Vétiver just fits in.
Another very interesting curation. If the scent isn’t too citrus or gourmand, I think EIV just always works.
Yeah, it’s surprisingly versatile
