    Mar 19, 2025 - MM25: Talent Soap Factory

    • Brush: Rad Dinosaur Creations Atlas II 26mm Raptor Knot
    • Razor: Mühle R41
    • Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Super Stainless (Green) [13]
    • Lather: Talent Soap Factory - Wallflower - Soap
    • Post Shave: Highland Springs Soap Company - Notti de Vienza - Splash
    • Fragrance: Noble Otter - Lonestar - Eau de Parfum

    Wallflower is a new scent to me from TSF that I picked up during their recent sale. It has a light, very pleasant aroma, somewhat reminiscent of Lonestar.

    I also used the new brush sent to me by u/Priusaurus and it’s absolutely gorgeous.

    There are several I would recommend:

    • Trash Panda (Oak Aged Bourbon, Honeyed Figs, Plum, Wild Currant, Sweet Dates, Date Sugar, Vanilla Bean, Brown Sugar Cubes & Vetiver)
    • Wolf Mother (wine, tobacco flower, whiskey, cocoa, marshmallow, sandalwood, cedar, amber, patchouli)
    • Moon Shadow (jasmine, tea, sandalwood).

    Moon Shadow is my favorite. Then there are some of their scents that can get really wild, and in a good way:

    • Toki (corn husk, citrus, apricot, rose, orchid, herbs, radish leaf, oak wood)
    • Vandal (Spray Paint, Melon)
    • Frankie Mermaid (grape soda, bubble gum, sugar, tonka bean & wormwood)

    So it depends on how adventurous you want to get. Unfortunately, none of these scents are available on the Etsy store right now. I’m assuming he’s having the 50% sale to make room for new/returning scents. That is kind of his MO.

    If you are looking at buying something during their sale, I would just check out the descriptions of each and see what sounds interesting.

    • Brush: Declaration Grooming Know It All 28mm B14 Badger Knot
    • Razor: Karve Shaving Co. Overlander
    • Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Super Stainless (Green) [1]
    • Lather: Talent Soap Factory - Save the Earth - Soap (Vegan)
    • Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Hallows - Splash
    • Fragrance: Lalique - Encre Noire A L’Extreme - Eau de Parfum

    It finally dawned on me this morning which scent Save the Earth reminds me of. I paired it with Hallows just to be sure. If Hallows is an earthy, Fall scent, then StE is a Springtime cousin.

    Happy Friday!

    Mar 6, 2025 - Theme Thursday: Women’s History Month

    • Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts Purple Hybrid 28mm Declaration Grooming B7 Badger Knot
    • Razor: Mühle Rocca R94
    • Blade: Gillette Platinum [2]
    • Lather: Southern Witchcrafts - Lycanthropy - Soap (Vegan)
    • Post Shave: Southern Witchcrafts - Lycanthropy - Aftershave (Alcohol Free)
    • Fragrance: Chatillon Lux - Sunrise on LaSalle - Eau de Toilette

    Courtney’s Desairology was my gateway into artisan Wetshaving products. So many of Southern Witchcrafts’ unique scents are favorite staples for me now. Her vegan lather is also exceptional.

    • Brush: Chisel & Hound Punch 26mm v24 Badger Knot
    • Razor: Mühle R41
    • Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Super Stainless (Green) [12]
    • Lather: Talent Soap Factory - Fantasy Donut - Soap (Vegan)
    • Post Shave: Chiseled Face - Gemutlichkeit - Aftershave
    • Fragrance: House of Mammoth - Rumble - Eau de Parfum

    TSF Fantasy Donut, CF Gemutlichkeit, and HoM Rumble are all right at my limit for gourmand, sweet scents. That said, these are fantastic, and I smell like a high-end coffee shop and bakery.

    • Brush: Declaration Grooming Magic Hour 28mm B8 Badger Knot
    • Razor: Mühle Rocca R94
    • Blade: Gillette Platinum [1]
    • Lather: Talent Soap Factory - Where the Wild Things Were - Soap (Vegan)
    • Post Shave: Declaration Grooming - Troll Toll - Aftershave

    Another use of TSF, and WTWTW is one of their odd scent combinations that somehow works well. Followed it up with Troll Toll for good measure.
