- Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur Unnumbered 8/8" ( hollow ground, stainless steel, round point)
- Lather: Barrister and Mann – Reserve Fern
- Aftershave: Barrister and Mann – Fougère Gothique

Fougère hodgepodge and sample kill today. Reserve was a really good base.
Gothique and Weinstrasse aren’t the best combination, a bit of a clash. Live and learn 😅
Thrill of the kill!
This is when the lack of a diminutive in English makes itself felt.😅
Thrillchen of the killchen!
When there’s no diminutive, a rephasing often works:
Thrill of the Kill → Happy Ending
(Oh wait, that means something else 🫤)

- Blade: Dorco SD507 disposable (5)
- Lather: Barrister & Mann - Electric Mayhem - Soap
- Post Shave: Aqua Velva - Musk - After Shave Cologne
A basic travel shave.
I love that a shave with fancy soap and a brush counts as a basic shave around here. 😊
This comment reminds me of something: on the discord chat, I’ve started floating the idea of a #HeadlessHorsemen side challenge for this year’s AA: #FriodomRiders, where we use a stainless straight. What do you think?
I want to join the Discord chat but time management is still a thing for me these days.
More importantly, I plan to do Headless Horsemen whether the challenge runs or not. Naturally, this will be another microscope data gathering exercise for me. I’ll use MRTNG’s Ultra Nightmare Mode with no palm stropping. Palm stropping is for sissies. I’m considering using a Koraat because Ulrik’s steel is hardened to 64 HRC and has significant wear resistance. I could definitely get behind #FriodomRiders. Besides us, I know that VW owns a Frio, but I don’t think he does Austere August (or hasn’t the past couple of years). Who else would participate?
Zimora and InfernalInternal also have frios. I might choose my dovo stainless.
Well, I will certainly join in. I’m also considering doing a BBS August in order to kill my tub of Stag and my tub of 70th Anniversary. Each tub should take about a month to kill.
The double AA! Kudos if you do it!
Good guess! I enjoy a cart/disposable shave from time to time, but would never use one at home.

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Fougère Bouquet is the first soap that I purchased from Wholly Kaw. I’ve been a fan of WK ever since. The richness of the lather and the richness of this fougère scent are perfectly matched.
Fougère Bouquet is nice. Have you also tried Fougère Mania? I like it even more, though it is too close to Varen toi justify a full tub for me.
Is this the tallow Siero base?
Have you tried Le Fougère Parfaite? I think it’s their only fougère-named scents I haven’t tried.
No, that one’s escaped me too
