2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Roman Spice is such an elegant scent. The aquatic component stood out for me today, but it doesn’t always. This one’s very clever by Shawn Maher.
I love Roman Spice, probably my favorite of the Seaforth! Line, RIP.
Yeah, it may have become mine too. I like them all, but there’s a subtle nature on this one. I get different things on different days and this one, as mentioned, is the most elegant, imo.
November 12th, 2025: Woolly Wash Wednesday
I'm really starting to get along with this razor. Still not sure I like it enough over my other GEMs to seek one out for myself, but I've definitely learned how to get a great shave out of it.
Have a great day!
I think to spend the money on a Streamline you have to want it for reasons other than “it shaves”. I don’t think any GEM razor is worth whatever these cost ($150? $200?) for the shave alone.
Damn, I didn’t realize they were so expensive!
Definitely not worth it to me. Like I said in an earlier shave, there’s enough overlap with the Flying Wing/Clog-Pruf in my mind.

Love it. 322 is dank and wonderful, and the Premium base is pure luxury (shouldn't the Luxury base be named something else?).
I agree with you about the Luxury base. I have a couple of soaps in that base and have never understood the “luxury” moniker.
Maybe I’ll ask Chris in the Discord chat.
I can only assume it’s because Luxury came first, so changing the name of that base would confuse people? Although before Premium came out, I don’t know if his base had a name.
The rhubarb, musk, and pear notes in Koké are a very unusual combination that I haven’t seen used that way anywhere else, and they always put me in a good mood. It evokes the smell of very ripe fruit, just before they turn sickly sweet. Delicious, but flirting with cloying disaster, if that makes sense. Also, I just love the artwork of the Koké line.
The plum + citrus in Black watch goes a little bit in that direction, but it’s nowhere near the cloying line, and a much more centred, stable fragrance.
The little Puma sparks joy, for no apparent reason.
I agree on the artwork. Very nice. I think I have a sample of Koké around here somewhere. The combination of rhubarb, musk and pear definitely leads me to wonder, “what drugs were done that night!”. Though, it could be genius like Blugère.

Why not both?

Shaved my head before the late shift and forgot to post. Oh well, nobody reads this I guess.

Hey, there are at least 5 of us! ;)
Fair enough, I just thought it was pretty late and usually no one expects a SOTD post at this time 😅
and forgot to post
I have been forgetting to post a lot lately. Apparently, it’s not the end of the world 😂
Definitely not, just shows that I was way out of my usual routine of immediately writing a post once I am done with my shave 😅
Have a good day!
Is Mediterranean man the AdP dupe? How do you like it?
Stirling describes it this way:
From the Chypre (meaning Cyprus) accord family of scents, it stays true to its name with top notes of lime, bergamot, melon, lemon, violet, and caraway. Its heart is made up of herbal notes, pine, ginger, jasmine, pepper, cyclamen, and nutmeg flower, and base notes of ambergris, musk, sandalwood, oakmoss, and cedar. Inspired by Creed Erolfa.
I think all the “… Man” scents from Stirling are Creed dupes.
I like Mediterranean Man but it’s not on my favorites list. Haverford, Executive Man, Ramblin’ Man, Varen, and I Rich Moose are. :)
My understanding is that Mediterranean Man is a Creed Erolfa dupe. I need to get a decant of Erolfa, as I like Mediterranean Man quite a bit. I often get the bath soap.

Excellent shave, no irritation.

Did I miss anyone?
BVWSC smushes of Fanzine Saponifications - Carrivagio went in the mailbox a couple of days ago… only a week to get to people’s houses. My apologies! We will play it by ear for next Wednesday, the 19th.

Or we wait a week longer - probably not the end of the world
