  @whosgotthepudding@sub.wetshaving.social’s Saturday Shire shave stuck in my mind while I was travelling. Back home, I decided to tweak in into a Valedictorian-Shire shave. These two scents are simply outstanding, I can’t seem to tire of them.

  The heavy stainless R 41 doesn’t come out to play too often anymore, but when it does, it’s a great shave.

    Valedictorian++;

    I admit I’m starting to tire of the WS-23 in every Mammoth aftershave; especially Shire.

      I’m starting to tire of the WS-23

      Yes! So much this. It’s really a pity because the scents are often phenomenal

  • Brush: Maggard 24mm Tuxedo Synthetic
  • Razor: Blackland Era - Level 3 SB
  • Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (3)
  • Lather: Honeybee Soaps - Vetyver - Soap
  • Post Shave: Australian Private Reserve - Raconteur - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: allMan - Refined - Balm

  I’ve had this soap since almost the beginning (almost 4 years), and it was a PIF from ShavingInCT. He gave it away on r/wicked_edge, of all places.

  Anyway, Honeybee Soaps is no longer around. The vetiver in this scent is NOT the dark stanky kind from Haiti, but instead a light and airy type of scent. It’s not as interesting as Haitian, but it’s very approachable. If an artisan was trying to sell a “safe” vetiver scent, this would be it.

  The soap base is surprisingly decent, but I can’t find any info online about the ingredients.

  Huge trip down memory lane for me today. The 40+ year-old soap still works well, and the strong alcohol splash just felt great. I had to top it off with the talc that most reminds me of barbershops of the 60s. Very nice shave.

    Old soap twins! The one I used is considerably you get than yours, but it’s still 5-10 years old, give or take.
