  Late shave, everything ok. Not on theme – got obviously sidetracked by the mention of cow.

  Have a good night!

  I have a knee-jerk negative reaction to the idea of lathering on my knee. Waterlyptus was the perfect way to start this hot, humid day here in MD. Chris had a stroke of genius with this scent.

  • Brush: Maggard 24mm 2 Band Badger
  • Razor: Blackland Era - Level 3 SB
  • Blade: Bolzano Superinox (German) (8)
  • Lather: Wet Shaving Products - Black Amber Vanille - Soap
  • Post Shave: Southern Witchcrafts - Incorporeal - Aftershave

  Before today I would have told you to steer clear of the Rustic soap base from Wet Shaving Products, because it’s pretty much garbage compared to, well, everything.

  Today I cracked the code, though, and the lather was honestly pretty decent. I loaded heavy with a dry-side-of-damp brush to avoid things bubbling up too much. The initial lather was the consistency of marshmallow fluff™, and after adding a suitable amount of water, the lather was good.

  The only thing that has kept this soap in my collection is (ok two things) 1) it was a gift from a dear friend, and 2) the scent is fucking amazing. It’s right up my alley.

  Figured I’d use an aftershave from a notable vegan artisan, Southern Witchcrafts.

  Theme: Talent Soap Factory produces a vegan base.

  Relevant post and frag: I received this smush from Chief Podcast Djustice u/OnionMiasma who notably has a plant-based username (thanks for the smush!!). In his honour, I only used software with plant-based names. Raspberry and tomato leaf in the soap, jasmine and green tea in the splash, and tobacco and agarwood in the frag.

  Challenge: since I skipped the leg shave yesterday, I did not get to do a shoulder lather today and had to go with the knee. This was my first time using TSF soap, and this isn’t my most practised lather method, so I was a bit uncertain how this would end. Luckily, the TSF base is super easy to pick up and to hydrate slowly, so I didn’t make too much of a mess in the bathroom.
