    January 26, 2024 – Vétiver Vendredi

    • Brush: Thäter Faux Ivory 29mm 2-band Silvertip

    • Razor: Filarmonica 14 Doble Temple Gen 1

    • Lather: Saponificio Varesino - Desert Vetiver - Soap

      2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


    A great shave today and I’m posting very late. Again, I almost forgot.

    Now that I know that Desert Vetiver has a grapefruit note, I can find it pretty readily, and with my penchant for renaming fragrances, I’m tempted to start calling this Dessert Vetiver. Awesome, well crafted, scent!

      You win the exclusive right to use the badger emoji 🦡 in your SOTDs, and I will downvote anybody trying to break your monopoly.

        Sweet, I love badgers! The animal, not the brush, I actually only use synthetics.

          Synthetic++
          I have about 5 synths, 5 badgers, and 5 boars. My synthetics get used the most by far.

            I used to have a couple horse hairs, but I could never get them to work well for me.

    • Brush: Maggard 24mm Synthetic
    • Razor: Blackland Era - Level 3 SB
    • Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (2)
    • Lather: Central Texas Soaps - Cherry Pipe - Soap
    • Post Shave: Chatillon Lux - Weinstrasse - Aftershave
    • Post Shave: House of Mammoth/Declaration Grooming - Cerberus - Liniment

    Weinstrasse aftershave has given me frag and/or menthol burn in the past. I used to have the soap and had no problem with it. In general I like to water down CL aftershaves/toners, so I did that today and it seemed to make the frag/menthol burn go away. For now I’ll keep it, since I love the scent. I’m willing to alter my application technique if it means I get to keep using it.

    I like the Central Texas soap base. It’s a tad on the poofy side, but turns really nice when you add a bunch of water to it.

    Bay Rum Pum Pum Pum 🎶

    • Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts Papa Eld with Declaration Grooming B3 knot
    • Razor: Dovo Bismarck 2 (7/8", full hollow, carbon steel)
    • Lather: Barrister and Mann Bay Rum
    • Aftershave: Barrister and Mann Bay Rum
    • Fragrance: Stirling Soap Co Bay Rum
    • Talc: Pinaud Clubman Finest Powder

    Oops, super busy day and I almost missed my SOTD post. This tub of soap was on my 2021 kill list. It’s mostly full. Ugh.

    Fun little thing I saw now looking at the SOTD pic: The bevel is mirror polished (duh, but:) and in this picture it becomes very visible because the word RUM of the balm label is reflected on it. Neat!
