    Christmas Cabin

    It’s hard to believe that Christmas is a week out. Today, Christmas Cabin and Embrace provided some warm, comforting scents to put me in the Christmas mood.

      That Wald is gorgeous

    I am Cerberus 🐶🐶🐶

    • Brush: Мужской Материк Orange Stabilised Burl with 28mm Oumo boar knot at 57mm loft
    • Razor: Filarmonica 14 Doble Temple (8/8", extra full hollow, carbon steel)
    • Lather: House of Mammoth/Noble Otter/Declaration Grooming Cerberus
    • Aftershave: House of Mammoth/Noble Otter/Declaration Grooming Cerberus (splash)
    • Aftershave: House of Mammoth/Noble Otter/Declaration Grooming Cerberus (liniment)
    • Fragrance: House of Mammoth/Noble Otter/Declaration Grooming Cerberus

    My Cerberus frag and splash arrived late last week, and I’m celebrating it with an over-the-top Quadhole Mammoth Monday SOTD. I’m looking forward to using Cerb in different combinations, without being restricted to just the soap going forward.

    That being said, it feels odd to have four heads of the three-headed hell hound

      🤔 Did you try to cut off one head?

        No, I haven’t, and as a cautious reader of Greek mythology, I’d first like to investigate the degree of genetic relationship between kerberoi and hydrai. Cutting off a head may prove counterproductive 😱

      I saw your Mail Call post yesterday and that made my choice of setup today. I was planning to use TNeV but now I have the Cerberus trifecta on tap for a midday shave. Tomorrow will be Thé for Twosday (a geezer reference).

    • Lather: Declaration Grooming - Cerberus - Soap

      2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

    I don’t remember the story behind this collaboration, but Cerberus is a triumph for House of Mammoth, Declaration Grooming and Noble Otter. If you have looked at this, liked the scent notes, and were intrigued, it’s even better than you imagine. The Koraat 14-2.0, and everything else in this setup, was an absolute pleasure to use today.

      💯

      It’s also somewhat Black Watch-adjacent. This warm stone fruit idea must have been in the air last year.

        You’re right! I did not make that connection. I’m drawn to the stone fruit aspect of both scents.

    Monday, December 18, 2023 : Les lundis du Père Lucien

    A very late shave, and the first one that has been written using sotd.el under emacs. @djundila@sub.wetshaving.social more or less dared me into it, and it is rather a proof-of-concept state than a fully useful piece of software, but it is good enough for my personal use.

    Have a good night!

      I didn’t get that tag (djundJila)

      Would you share sotd.el? I’m super curious, of course!

        Mail incoming! It’s really ugly, and tailored to my use-case, but it works.

          Thanks, I’m curious to have a look tonight. I’m currently tinkering with a shave den inventory management and sotd writing/publishing/inspecting/searching app. Reading about your sotd.el of course immediately made me dream of an Emacs client for DenManadjer
