  Fern and Varen have a similar heavy, stanky vibe, while Skin Bracer tries to keep it fresh and clean. A fun combo.

    Your brush is getting there!

    A photo of Boris Johnson, or a well-broken-in SOC boar. Who knows!

  So a few days ago I dropped my Merkur 39c and it broke into 4 pieces. Stupid zamak heads.

  So I pulled out the 34c HD today, it’s still a great razor. (I head shave by the way)

  • Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts “Santa Noir” w/Maggard 28mm SHD Badger
  • Razor: GEM Pushbutton
  • Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (2)
  • Lather: Chatillon Lux/Storybook Soap Works - La Forêt de Liguist - Soap
  • Post Shave: Chatillon Lux - Delor de Treget - Aftershave
  • Fragrance: Spearhead - Seaforth! Heather - EdP

  This combo really came together nicely. La Forêt de Liguist is a really interesting scent. Dry forest smells, almost musty, but brightened up a tad by something. Delor de Treget is more of a citrus type scent, but along the same vein. Proceeding to get even brighter, Heather topped it all off with a big burst of clary sage.

  The pushbutton was really nice. Slightly milder than the MMOC, but just as efficient and fun to use. Mechanically it’s not nearly as interesting as the MMOC, but it’s still sort of cool in that department.

  I enjoy this soap. Very nice base and there’s something attractive about the scent. There’s not one component to it that stands out. Just very peasing.
