- Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving - Seaforth! Roman Spice EdT
First go with Roman Spice. First impressions: Fantastic. This is a really nice scent. Mrs. Pudding is even more of a fan of it than I am. She loves it.
Luckily, I have 4 days until the official release to talk myself out of this :)
I don’t think you should. It’s really good! The dry down on the EdT is 🤌
Cr@p!! The last thing I need is another soap! :)
Good to see these positive comments about Roman Spice trickle in! My set is still stateside waiting to be reshipped to be
Hope it gets there soon! It’s good stuff. Definitely a safe blind buy.

- Brush: AP Shave Co. - 24mm Synbad Fan
- Razor: Wolfman Guerilla (Gen 1)
- Blade: Bolzano Superinox (German) (1)
- Lather: Palmolive - Sensitive - Cream
- Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Varen - Aftershave
- Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Mood Indigo - Balm
I enjoyed this shave more than I thought I would. Palmolive certainly is not an artisan soap, but it works. I try to keep track of good razor/blade combos that I come across, and I don’t think I’ve tried these together before. It ended up on my “good” list, though! Bolzano work well in mild razors for me.
- Brush: Zenith B8 (XL aluminium handle, 28 mm × 57 mm boar)
- Razor: GEM Micromatic Clog Pruf, first generation, NOS
- Blade: Personna GEM PTFE
- Lather: Mäurer & Wirtz Tabac Original
- Aftershave: Mäurer & Wirtz Tabac Original
The B8 with the higher loft works better than the stubby B21 with veg Tabac, but I’m still not getting the kind of sopping wet slickness I used to get from the tallow Tabac. The dialling in continues.
