      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.

    January 10, 2024: Witchcraft Wednesday

    • Preshave: Proraso Green Preshave
    • Brush: Yaqi 28mm Synthetic Rock
    • Razor: Karve CB Brass C Plate CC
    • Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (44)
    • Lather: Southern Witchcraft Autumn Ash
    • Post Shave: Floid The Genuine
    • Post Shave: Nivea After Shave Balm

    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!

    Witchday

    • 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.

      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.

      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.

        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!

    • Brush: Stirling 24mm Synthetic
    • Blade: Cien Men 2-Blade Cart (4)
    • Lather: Barrister & Mann - Electric Mayhem - Soap
    • Post Shave: allMan - Fearless - Aftershave
    • Post Shave: Goodfellow & Co. - Face Lotion - Kelp & Sea Mineral
    • Fragrance: Musgo Real - EdC

    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.
