    3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

  I’m off theme. I remembered to check the theme after shaving 🫤

  This was a shave test for the ERN 207 (honing video). The new synthetic edge performed excellently. The entire shave was improved by richness and slickness of the Elysian Soap Shop’s soap base, and by the warmth and elegance of the El Dorado scent.

      Thank you for watching! The steel needs to be great to take an edge like that. Eld’s razor, btw.

  On theme today with The Master, easily my favorite barbershop that I’ve tried so far. I love the dark and spicy vibe.

  Another superlative shave from the Legacy. It works so well with these blades for me.

  • Brush: Zenith 508A XL/Bristle (B35) (MOAR BOAR) 31mm
  • Razor: Fatip Classic Testina Gentile
  • Blade: Personna 74 (66)
  • Lather: Barrister & Mann - Vespers - Soap
  • Post Shave: Pinaud - Clubman Musk - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Goodfellow & Co. - Face Lotion - Kelp & Sea Mineral
  • Fragrance: Jōvan Musk - EdT

  Great lather. I only soaked this brush for a minute or two, and that was all it needed. So that’s nice. I agree with some others that the loft on Moar Boar could be longer, but I’ve just resigned to the fact that it’s a painter, not a splayer. I still enjoy using it!

  I’m almost at 69 uses on this blade according to my spreadsheet. I’ll have to remember to swap it back into my Chiseled Face Legacy which is serial # 69.

  • Post Shave: Seaforth! - Heather

  Damn good shave this morning. Heather sampler is gone and I actually really enjoyed that scent despite people thinking it’s a straight old man scent. Maybe I’m in denial…

    I enjoyed Heather for what it was, and still have the toner. I wasn’t sad when I killed the tub, though. It’s just not in my wheelhouse is all.

      Doubtful that I pick a soap or splash of it up, but good enough to enjoy for a few days.

  • Brush: Semogue Owner’s Club (cherry wood and boar)
  • Razor: Böker – 14er (8/8", extra hollow, carbon steel, square point)
  • Lather: Le Père Lucien – Cologne Fougère
  • Post Shave: Mennen – Skin Bracer
  • Fragrance: House of Mammoth – Tobacconist

  I don’t think I’ve seen LPL Cologne Fougère called a barbershop scent, but it should be, and I’m declaring this shave on theme. I love this scent, just wish the base wasn’t as bubbly.

  The Böker is great.
