    • Brush: Wald Nimbus Chryselephantine 29mm A1 Fan

    • Razor: Tanifuji Spalding 0411 6/8" Full Hollow

    • Lather: Zingari Man - The Master - Soap

    • Toner: Thayers - Rose - Toner

      2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


    The Master (as in Master Barber) has a spicy Shawn Maher scent paired with Heather’s Sego base. It is intended as a barbershop scent, certainly, but I’ve not been to a barber shop here in the states that smelled this good. I paired this with the Pinaud talc which, in fact, does remind be of barbershops that I’ve been to in my youth (during the Paleolithic age).

    For today’s Theme Thursday, I’ll cite Whipping Post by The Allman Brothers Band. I’ve attended a bunch of their concerts through the years and have been listening to a recording off of the mixing board of a concert at the Beacon Theater that I attended a couple of years before Gregg died.

      “The Master”, “Whipping Post” – I jest. Just poking fun.

      My fun “The Master” story is that I won a set from Heather when she hosted a wetshaving trivia live stream on Instagram. Catie’s Bubbles came in first (I should probably know his first name), but naturally deferred the prize to second place, which was me. I liked how it smelled but it’s not quite in my wheelhouse, and VisceralWatch had just happened to mention wanting to do a giveaway on his YouTube channel, so that set turned into that prize.

        Hah! I didn’t put that together at all!

        As for the scent, it is definitely in my wheelhouse. Not really as a barbershop scent as it is intended, but then, maybe barbershops in other parts of the world have that scent. Dunno.

        I did wonder about VW’s giveaway.
