  MARCH MADNESS 2025 DAY 22

  • Brush: SBS Ord w/ TnS Quartermoon
  • Razor: Chiseled Face Legacy Brass
  • Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
  • Lather: Catie’s Bubbles - Reflection
  • Post Shave: Catie’s Bubbles - Reflection splash

  Reflection somehow reminds me of camping with my family as a really young lad. It kind of puts me in a somber mood, but its a lovely scent.

  • Lather: Henri et Victoria – Cognac and Cuban Cigars

  Looks like TSF lives to fight another day and that Stirling is out. Maybe a late shaver will save it at the expense of HoM before the official tally?

  I had a very nice early morning shave with Cognac and Cuban Cigars, such a pleasant, easy scent. Now I’m sitting in the train to the alps to spend a couple days with Djunior before warm spring weather brings grass and cows where there are sleds and kids now.

  Tobacconist ++;

    Tobacconist++;

    My favorite HoM scent for cold weather. Cognac and Cuban cigars is a real-life dream for me. Cuban cigars are banned for sale in the US. There’s a black market here, but I don’t know how to reach it. I manage to make-do with Cognac (or Armagnac) and non-Cuban cigars, though :)

      I had a brief phase where I smoked Cuban cigars, but stopped about 20 years ago. Tobacconist still smells glorious to me :)

      Did you get a few Cuban cigars in the brief window when sanctions got lessened during Obama?

  • Brush: AP Shave Co. - SilkSmoke synthetic
  • Razor: Chiseled Face - Titanium Legacy Razor
  • Blade: Personna - Lab Blue (5)
  • Lather: Talent Soap Factory - Froggr
  • Post Shave: Talent Soap Factory - Froggr Aftershave splash
  • Post Shave: Ginger’s Garden - Unscented Aftershave balm (+ menthol)
  • Fragrance: Stirling - Varen EdT

  I’m bummed Stirling didn’t make the cut yesterday, but someone had to go.

  Froggr is a nice anisic scent that I really enjoy, though it gave my skin a bit of a tingle. It wasn’t unbearable, but it was noticable. Maybe I’m also sensitive to anise oil? I hope not, because I love the scent of anise.

  Have a great Saturday y’all.

    I’m bummed about Stirling too. A product line of such good quality and so vast and that has been around for a long time is somehow easy to overlook.

      Yeah agreed. Good thing it’s only an internet popularity contest with no real impact! 😄

      The other brands all make good product as well, we’re quite spoiled for choice.

  This was a test shave of my first edge from my new La Petite Blanche coticule. Since this is a vintage razor that I just purchased and have not used with other edges of mine, it was not really a fair test of a new stone. Nonetheless, I had a very close and comfortable shave. I look forward to evaluating this stone on razors that I am already familiar with.

  Bon Temps Barbershop has a subtle and very pleasant barbershop scent in a soap base that is tailored for straight razor shavers. It performs brilliantly.
