Been rocking this setup for awhile now it’s so good. I’ve got to work in some of my other Christmas Soaps while it’s still seasonally appropriate.

Far too good to be just a Christmas soap :)
December 9, 2023: Rinse and Repeat

| Yesterday’s shave was so good, I had to do it again. It helped that the combo 34C + old blade left me with the impression that I should do it today. The Cella has a really nice scent - unfortunately a very discreet one, that I get noseblind to very fast. |
I had ordered a few perfume decants, mainly from Rogue Perfumery. Mon Bon Monsieur smells generically good, and very clean. On Fragrantica, someone described it as a mall perfume from the 80s. That’s not completely false, but also not a bad thing.
Have a good night!

Another nice shave.
How was the pairing between Far Afield and Hamami? Hamami and Cerberus are great, but I haven’t tried Far Afield.
It worked pretty well, actually. Cerberus was a departure from both of those scents, but it’s the only Liniment that I have.
Wonderful morning shave, yet again with 20.1. I enjoyed my series of Seaforth! shaves (Sorry SSL, you felt too summery this time around) this week.

It took me a few uses to appreciate it, and now I can’t remember why I didn’t like it at first.
When did this Böker show up in your collection? Is it a new addition?
I bought a bit over a year ago, but I only honed it during this year’s TabOktoberfest, and wrote this little write-up because I think it’s an interesting razor.
I then promptly busted its pristine scales and luckily, Ralf Aust makes scales of almost the same size and shape. I posted the rescale operation here.
It’s just a regular square point German hollow ground, but I enjoy it more than most of my other straights

Brush: Wald Stratos Goldvein 29mm A1 Fan
Razor: Tanifuji Spalding 0411 6/8" Full Hollow
Lather: Murphy and McNeil - Barbershop de Los Muertos 3 - Soap
Toner: Thayers - Lemon - Toner
Aftershave: Murphy and McNeil - Barbershop de Los Muertos 3 - Aftershave
Talc: Yardley Gold
I’m revisiting the Murphy & McNeil Kodiak base with this shave. Before leaving on my trip, I used The Great Bear (also Kodiak) and could not get a lather to build. I don’t use these soaps that frequently so I was concerned that there might be a shelf life with this base. I had no problems today with BDLM 3 so I’ll need to revisit The Great Bear to see if I just had a bad day.
The Kodiak soap base is quite nice. It features bear tallow as well as skin food additives for post-shave feel. I think this is one of those bases that takes a little time and work to get right. I load it heavily and end up adding a lot of water. The result is a high-density lather that, somehow, has a very light feel.
Great shave today!

SeL is such a well crafted scent. It’s going to be a cold, rainy day in the city, so it seemed appropriate.
