    Opulent and Gourmand

    • Brush: Stirling Soap Co. Zenith Boar Brush 31mm × 50mm
    • Razor: Dovo 41 Inox
    • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. Haverford
    • Aftershave: Declaration Grooming Opulence
    • Fragrance: Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille
    • Talc: Pinaud Clubman Finest Powder

    Not the most inspired fragrance combination, but I was in the mood for a known quantity.

    The Inox Dovo is a great workhorse.

    • Brush: Wald Stratos Haunter 29mm A1

    • Razor: Dovo Facharbeit 6/8" Full Hollow Square Point

    • Lather: WestMan Shaving - Alma - Soap

    • Toner: Thayers - Rose - Toner

    • Aftershave: WestMan Shaving - Alma - Aftershave Balm  
      2 passes. Face lather. Average shave.


    The WestMan products are great. I really like the soap base and scent on Alma, and I have the previous soap base. The Facharbeit, on the other hand, appears to need a refresh. I really did not like the feel of the edge today.

    • Brush: Maggard 24mm Synthetic
    • Razor: RazoRock Game Changer .84P
    • Blade: Personna Lab Blue (1)
    • Lather: Chatillon Lux/Declaration Grooming - La Petite Prairie - Soap
    • Post Shave: Old Spice - Original - Aftershave
    • Post Shave: House of Mammoth/Declaration Grooming - Cerberus - Liniment
    • Fragrance: Barrister & Mann - Lavenille - EdP

    Second shave with the Game Changer. It does have more blade feel than I prefer, but I can’t argue with the closeness of the shave. I won’t be running out and buying one after I send it to the next stop on the passaround, but I’d be curious to try the .68. Both have positive blade exposure though, which I usually don’t like.

    I haven’t used Milksteak in a long time, but was digging through my samples and picked out La Petite Prairie. A great scent, for sure.
