  Shave tour day 9

  Same gear

  Bodyshop aloe and maca root shave cream

  Probably the best ‘drugstorre’ product. It gives a decent shave probably because it’s a cream and so easy for numptys to load. Properly.

  Ranking

  BaM soft heart sandalwood
  MdC fougere
  Wickham gothic
  Grooming correto
  Wickham ninfeo
  Signature a Capra
  Bodyshop aloe 
  Cbubs rasage

  • Brush: Maggards - synthetic bulb
  • Razor: Gillette - Rocket HD
  • Blade: Personna - Lab Blue (2)
  • Lather: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Sea Spice Lime
  • Post Shave: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Sea Spice Lime Aftershave splash
  • Post Shave: Stirling - Glacial Unscented Aftershave balm
  • Fragrance: Stirling - Deep Blue Sea EdT

  On theme with SSL, a wonderful spring/summer scent. I just wish I had the EdT.

  I was pleasantly surprised by how this Maggard brush performed. It’s a solid little synth. Super easy to lather, no fuss. Can’t complain!

  Have a good one y’all!

    If it’s the sort of tan colored synthetic from Maggard, that’s my favorite knot (or at least it’s my most used knot).

    SSL is so good. The EdT is really nice, too.

  MARCH MADNESS 2025 DAY 20

  • Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
  • Lather: Barrister & Mann - Le Grand Chypre
  • Post Shave: Barrister & Mann - Le Grand Chypre splash

  While technically not an actual spring scent, there are vague connections in my brain that I’ve made that remind me of spring last year. Close enough!

  My unofficial morning tally of yesterday’s March Madness match-up has SBS dropping out today.

  Scrape time: Thu 20 Mar 2025, 07:03:58 GMT

  Absolutely wonderful shave today with The Fat (tallow), the smooth Dandy, old-school Hâttric, and the new-to-me Chubby super badger that I bought off @archsoup on the r/wetshaving discord. The Super Badger is even softer than my already soft manchurian, but it’s so dense that the backbone is still there. It lathered The Fat like a champ and I’m glad I bought it. It occurred to me that even though none of the hardware or software used today is vintage, this shave could have happened half a century ago and looked exactly the same. No recent modern technology required to get a good shave.
