  January 13, 2025

  • Brush: Maggard 24mm Tuxedo Synthetic
  • Razor: Gillette Flat Bottom Tech
  • Blade: Derby Premium (2)
  • Lather: Chicago Grooming Co. - Caoba - Soap
  • Post Shave: Summer Break Soaps - Woodshop - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Goodfellow & Co. - Face Lotion - Kelp & Sea Mineral
  • Fragrance: Summer Break Soaps - Woodshop - EdP

  Caoba is on the chopping block. I had nominated it for next months BVWSC, but I think it’s a good thing it didn’t win. I don’t know if there would have been enough to create ~7 smushes, unless I made them small (not an option, IMO).

  Woodshop pairs well which makes sense since both scents are based on “wood”.

      It might be lower now, but depends on whose sending out the soap. A couple of our people pop in from time to time and don’t get a chance to nominate or vote.

  I got two samples with my order from LPL, among which Bay Rum. I never tried any bay rum scented product, so I was excited! I rather enjoy the scent, though I get some slight tingeling on my face – probably not for me!

  Have a good day!

    What do you get from the preshave? I used to have a preshave product when I started out, but I never figured out what benefit it gave me so I stopped

      I have very dry skin, and it seems to help with that. Other than that, at some time in the past, I fell for a greatly reduced 300ml tub of preshave, and I used it because I had it. And somehow I got used to it 🤷

  Great trickhole shave Mammoth Monday with uncool Shire splash 🎉🎉. This bottle of uncool splash was part of my Black Friday haul which finally had made it to me on Thursday. I happily jumped on the opportunity when u/mammothben announced the uncool splash because warm scents with cooling agents aren’t for me. Really looking forward to combining this splash with Valedictorian someday soon.
