Great shave. This old razor works very well and I love this scent.

Early morning wakeup so I only gave myself 30 minutes to shower, shave, get dressed, and get out the door.
I smeared a large chunk of sample soap on my face and the brush picked it up very easily. Omnibus works well with this method.
Midnight Special is lightly scented to my nose, similar to Promises. I like it better than Promises, though.
Face loading the midnight special++;

Ha, if anyone will ever be able to finish one of those huge Tabac tubs it’s surely you! 👍🏻
We’ll get there, slowly, but surely 🤓

As we have determined here, today’s setup supports les mardis du mammouth.
And another great HoM shave was had by me. I felt compelled to use a razor that has mammoth ivory scales with a House of Mammoth soap. Though this was the first time I’ve done it, it won’t be the last.
Yay MdM! And with a literal mammoth razor

Luxury shave, which I’ve been doing more often due to rushed early morning shaves.
This blade has been pretty incredible.
I’ve been hesitant to try Mélange because I’ve been burned by some soaps before and this one has a reputation for doing that. I’m happy to report that I’m SAFE from Mélange. It smells good!
⛑️🦺 safe, woop woop 🙌

1 pass head shave with the Headblade. Just a quick shave before my late shift…
Today I called my potential new work place for feedback. Lo and behold, I got the verbal commitment by the nursing service manager/head of nursing (= “Pflegedienstleitung” or PDL in german) that I can start there next year 🥳 The “boss” of that nursing home is unfortunately still sick, so my written contract will have to wait until next week… But I can finally start to work on organising my seamless transition 😉 My parents as well as some coworkers who are in on my intentions are happy for me, albeit the latter are understandably sad that we’ll part ways… Me too, but I need to do what’s best for me and my career.
Celebrated the day with one of my favourite Tom Ford fragrances. Ombre Leather as well as its darker brother Tuscan Leather are my absolute top perfumes. If you’re into rich leather scents that are very agreeable (instead of harsher offerings like e.g. Midnight Stag), I completely recommend those 👍🏻
🎆🎆🎆 Congratulations! 🎆🎆🎆
Thank you very much 😁
Congratulations, well done!
and Ombré Leather is a great choice for celebrating this :)
Thanks DJ. I also got an email by them as some sort of written confirmation… This feels like a huge accomplishment for me 😃
Yeah, it definitely is a fragrance reserved for special occasions. I like how it starts smelling like the brand new leather Interieur of a new luxurious car and then develops into a spicier scent.

It is my first Zingari Zischtig and Mousse Illuminée is the protocol. I had a little spare time so I loaded more heavily than usual and created a YouTube boom shakalaka lather [IYKYK]. That was perfect for this scent as it filled the bathroom during the shave.
I can’t go wrong with the WR4. I used the lightest of touches, barely felt the edge, and still was rewarded with full-on BBS comfort.

I just wish the first Alemannic alliteration was with a less racist brand name 😕
Delicious lavender-centric shave with an already inexplicably worn blade (after 4 uses). FHS-10 blades are really substantially worse than other Feather blades. The AutoStrop goes back in the box, and I’m returning to straights for the next few days.

Figgy Puddin’ remains one of the best Christmas scents. It is beautifully straightforward and wish it would return.
djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social 1 year ago
The scent notes (Green fig, oak, spice) sound really nice
walden@sub.wetshaving.social 1 year ago
Surprised to find no Puddin’ in the scent notes.
