First Mammoth Monday for me since before TabOktoberfest.

Warm and fruity Cerberus is a wonderful scent and I long regretted not getting the splash and edt, but apparently a new batch is being made these days. Second chances ++;

I’m in a Black Watch mind set the days it seems because it seems to pair well with so many scents.

    It’s a great soap, one I will definitely consider restocking once it’s gone. I can send you some, if you want to try.

    For real. They’re so clean and make the color everywhere else just pop.

  Just one question: do you choose your soap in function of the color of your scales, or the razor in function of your soap tub?

    :-)
    
    I chose the soap for this morning and then realized that I had time to make a photo. I chose the brush and razor because I did not want to spend time fretting over color coordination.

Variété de Fougère Gothique, Classique et Gaélique

Brush: Zenith r/Wetshaving exclusive MOAR BOAR (31 mm × 57 mm bleached boar)

Razor: Thiers Issard Le Dandy

Lather: Barrister and Mann Fougère Gothique

Aftershave: Barrister and Mann Fougère Classique

Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company Seaforth! Heather

The sense of smell is a funny thing, because when I smelled Fougère Gothique today, I mostly got the citrus of the bergamot, which I had never before had thought of as an important note of FG.

Fougère Classique was as stanky and delicious as I remembered it, and well rounded, almost sweet Heather is a serene ending for a turbulent scent progression.

The hardware was as enjoyable as the fragrances in this wonderful evening shave.

Brush: Maggard 24mm 2 Band Badger

Razor: Personna BBS-0

Blade: Personna Lab Blue (5)

Lather: Central Texas Soaps - Cherry Pipe - Soap

Post Shave: Brut - Splash On

Post Shave: Goodfellow & Co. - Face Lotion - Kelp & Sea Mineral

Fragrance: House of Mammoth - Santa Noir - EdP

Another great shave from this razor. I think the flat area on the top cap presents some drag with soaps that don’t have excellent secondary slickness. Still, it’s possible to ride the safety bar a bit to get around it. It has a pretty narrow shaving window though, being a relatively mild razor, so some skill goes a long way.

Day 2 with this Goodfellow lotion. I used a teeny tiny bit, and it was plenty.

Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts with Declaration Grooming B10

Razor: Gillette NEW SC

Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (2)

Lather: Barrister and Mann - Amazelnut - Soap

Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Leviathan - Aftershave

Post Shave: Thayers - Lemon - Toner

Great evening shave. I like Amazelnut but a Leviathan finish takes it to another level. The NEW SC performed perfectly as always. DE razors don’t get much better than this.

This is my favorite SOTD photo. I made it in July during Lather Games. Today’s version is cropped and shaded a little differently but it’s the same photo. I spent four days to get this photo and in July, in Maryland, the mosquito is the apex predator. Neither the squirrels nor I wanted to be at ground level.

The squirrel is real. The pile of nuts she is eating was taken out with PhotoShop.

How do I know this is a female squirrel? Well, I’ve been feeding squirrels and getting to know their personalities since January of this year. This little lady has been a regular since the spring. She’s a real character.
