2 passes. Bowl lather. Excellent shave.
Yep, Marilyn Mittwoch! (Always alliterative.)
Kind of a poor lather today. I was in a rush this morning and really didn’t let the lather develop in the bowl, and I over-hydrated it. It didn’t matter, though. Omnibus works as well in a kind of slurry lather format as it does in full-luxury format; though I much prefer the latter.

Like @gcgallant@sun.wetshaving.social, I’m only in it for the alliterations. The Yaqi Rock is a huge lather monster, and I think I should use it more often, and I needed something soft after my irritated face from the last shaves. Now, my face feels great!
Have a good evening!

Otherwise, why bother! :)

- Brush: Rubberset 400-3 with a 26 mm unbleached Zenith boar knot at 56 mm loft
- Razor: Böker S.S. Paris Wins
- Lather: Southern Witchcrafts Autumn Ash
- Aftershave: Southern Witchcrafts Valley of Ashes
- Fragrance: Southern Witchcrafts Autumn Ash
- Talc: Pinaud Clubman Finest Powder
Neither Autumn Ash 🍂 nor Valley of Ashes are favourites of my wife’s when I let her sniff them. Too smokey, too much diesel, you get the idea. But I consistently get compliments from her when I wear them unannounced. Today even while wearing both of them together.
The #Talcening continues. Talc’s nice, who knew? (@gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social. @gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social knew.)
This Rubberset was my trusty companion for two Austere Augusts and has the strongest backbone of all my brushes (low-ish loft, but most of all, super tight ferrule). It’s really nice to use, but it never fully lost it’s boar funk. C’est la vie.
But I consistently get compliments from her when I wear them unannounced.
Sneaky!
My wife hated the sample of Autumn Ash I had (I didn’t like it much, either). She said it reminded her of… we’ll just call it “something unfavorable” to prevent ruining the scent for anybody reading.
“something unfavorable”
😇

It’s just the talc :) My wife doesn’t like Autumn Ash. I suggest that its scent is a wonderful mix of autumn leaves (which she likes) mixed with with the rich scent of a premium cigar (which I like, but she, decidedly does not). I think this works! She doesn’t.
It’s just the talc :)
Now you’re talcing!
My wife doesn’t like Autumn Ash.
I’m detecting a theme in today’s comments😅
For many controversial scents, (eg, gearhead, stag, VoA, Boltzmann, frankly my pear) I get why they are controversial, for others, like The Stank® or Autumn Ash, I’m just not seeing it. They are great!

- Post Shave: allMan - Fearless - Aftershave
- Post Shave: Goodfellow & Co. - Face Lotion - Kelp & Sea Mineral

Electric Mayhem is pretty good! Initially I didn’t really connect with the “theme” behind the scent, and this sample has been hanging out in my dopp kit for a while.
