Brush: Zenith 506B MB (27 mm × 51 mm Manchurian badger)
Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur 17 (NOS, 7/8", hollow ground, stainless steel)
Lather: Catie’s Bubbles – Connecticut Shade
Post Shave: Chiseled Face – Gemütlichkeit
Fragrance: House of Mammoth – Tobacconist

Yesterday’s combo left me wanting to play with more tobacco combos. This time I started with warm, sweet pipe tobacco with vanilla and nutmeg, took it in a fully gourmand direction with oatmeal cookies and coffee, and finished it up with the warm, dry scent of a cigar shop. It worked!

Terrific setup. I intended to buy Connecticut Shade at the Maggard Meetup but I think I was pretty nose-blind by the time I gave it a sniff.

  You’ll just have to go there again next year 🙂

    I am planning to go again in April. Perhaps I’ll treat it more like the Maggard Buyup next time. 😉

Chris is doing a release of Porch Drinks in the premium base soon, in case you haven’t heard.

It would fit in very nicely with what you chose for today.
