It was a Black Friday offering a few years back. It’s really nice!

Happy Moarteen day 🎉.
About a month ago, these glittery green razors started landing in their dens and it’s interesting what happened: exactly half of the razors never showed up in an SOTD post. Cold feet? Secret shaves? Nobody knows.
Either way, lovely shave with the sub exclusive hardware, and Mountain Man/Silver Mountain Water is a very enjoyable placeholder until the sub exclusive I, Rich Moose can complete the colour-coordinated 100% sub exclusive SOTD.

I enjoy Tabac Tuesdays as a counter pole to the somewhat ridiculous diversity I choose from most days.
A scent I enjoy, a soap that works well, a brush I know by heart, it’s really easy to relax and enjoy the ritual. No thinking about which scent notes I catch, no analysing of the brush-soap matchup, no mental notes about improvements, no parsing of layered scent combinations: this would get really boring after a while if it was a daily thing, but like this, one a week, it’s an oasis of relaxation, and it also makes me appreciate variety of the other days.

- Lather: Catie’s Bubbles – Connecticut Shade
- Post Shave: Macduffs Soap Company – Trail Tobacco

Lots of Tobacco in this shave. Connecticut Shade is a bit on the sweet side, but followed by Trail Tobacco, and the wonderful Tobacconist, it’s a good start.

- Razor: Koraat – r/Wetshaving exclusive Moarteen (15/16", full hollow, carbon steel)
- Lather: Catie’s Bubbles – Cape Cod Cranberry
- Post Shave: Catie’s Bubbles – Blugère
I shaved this morning, but didn’t get to post until now. CCC is a great scent, and I’m curious about its successor, Crangère.
My collection of wedges is a bit thin, though.
Mine too. I don’t even dislike them, but somehow, I’m gravitating to the hollow grinds.
Oh, I didn’t know there was a straight up grapefruit and I immediately read it as gravefruit. My bad
Oh, is this a new-to-you W&B?
Is this the OG gravefruit, the APR-SW collab?

Le Grand Chypre and the freshness of Speick make for a very nice combo for a warm almost-summer day like today.

Wed 07 May 2025
- Brush: Declaration Grooming Washington Blood of Kings B3
- Razor: Koraat – r/Wetshaving exclusive Moarteen (15/16", full hollow, carbon steel)
- Lather: Eleven Shaving – 5
- Post Shave: Chatillon Lux / Declaration Grooming – Yuzu/Rose/Patchouli
- Fragrance: House of Mammoth / Declaration Grooming / Noble Otter – Cerberus Fougère
The “small” 24 mm knot on the Washington is really nice to use and makes me question the trend to large badger knots. Usually this lasts until I use a large badger knot, at which point I remember why.
Cerberus Fougère caused me some anguish over the last couple weeks because I couldn’t find it. It seemed to have simply disappeared. I checked everywhere that made sense and some more places. Then yesterday, I found it right where it’s supposed to be, in my half of the bathroom cabinet, and I have no idea how I hadn’t immediately found it all this time. I must be getting old.
This was a fun scent progression, from earthy-citrussy over earthy-floral to earthy-green.

This Stankening is my 20ᵗʰ use of the Moarteen and its factory edge, and yet another great shave. I’m really happy with how the Moarteen turned out.
J33p assures me another is on the way ;)
Oh yeah, I’m opitimoostic that is going to come soon!

Not necessarily a floral scent, but there’s neroli in there, so I’m counting it as on theme.
