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!

I think this is my first time being the first one to post their SOTD here. What do I win??
What do I win??
Nothing, but I’m so proud of you.
Can’t we do badges or trophies on Lemmy?
🏆
Lemmy doesn’t have user flair (yet?), unfortunately.
A badger badge?
Thanks man, I couldn’t have done it without you!
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.

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!

Angle of incidence equals angle of reflection :)

Hah! Well done!
Thanks! And likewise!
