I bought Floid The Genuine aftershave again. Why did I ever not have any? This is arguably the greatest aftershave ever.
Have a good day!

Any thoughts?
Many of those, but few relevant and zero knowledgeable ones.
Here in the E of U, old cars are generally heavily disincentivized (use too much gas, often of the wrong type , too polluting, so you can’t go everywhere in consequence…)
- Comment on Wednesday SOTD Thread, February 11th, 2026 (#974) 1 week ago:
AYLM is a bit overpriced IMO (depends also where you are based), but the hard base is an improvement over their previous soft base. Their scents are good though and original, in a not so classic way. They have great gourmands.
I find the SV base is one of the best around. Most of their scents are dupes AFAIK, but really flawless. Also, contrary to AYLM, you can be sure that there’s no menthol in it.
SV is the safe bet, AYLM if you feel adventurous.

This is my 3rd or 4th shave with this brush, and they all have been rather rough. I guess I’m getting brushburn, and since it is a sythetic, this is probably not getting any better over time. Anyone of you knowing a way to soften up a synth?
Have a good day!

This was a morning shave (living the dream 🐙), and fairly good. I should have worked the lather more.
Have a good evening!

btw, for March BVWSC, it will be Tundra Artica. Do you have the soap, or do I send it to you?

It’s a beautiful day outside, and I was looking for something more summer-themed. Le Grand Chypre is always great.
Have a good evening!

I have no lanolin sensitivity, but I have experienced frag burn in some soaps. Generally, bowl lathering helps reducing the problem, but ultimately, its probably better to avoid the product.

Used the GEM Junior second day in a row.
At this rate, it will get senior very quick 🤔

Have a good day.

- Comment on [Buena Vista Wetshaving Social Club] Soap nomination thread 3 weeks ago:
Saponificio Varesino Tundra Artica
They say:
The name derives from the geographical area called Arctic Tundra, where the vegetable additives used in this soap find their natural habitat:
- the Icelandic lichen (soothing, purifying, antibacterial, calming)
- the cranberry (suitable for sensitive skin, soothing and toning, gives freshness and vitality).
The scent is a very nice, a bit subdued oud, but I have not found a clear description. They say:
Fragrance: to recall the environment of the Arctic Tundra, we relied on the Agar Wood fragrance but harmonized to convey a feeling of open, fresh spaces and with a markedly woody perception of shrubs.

There was at some time a Tabac shaving stick, and maybe it still exists.

The natural suggestion is for folks to propose better soaps! ;)
or for you to get better taste 😎

- Comment on Free Talk Friday - January 30th, 2026 3 weeks ago:
Well, I completely screwed up on this - I suggest we revert to a Tabac shave for February.
I will launch prep for March tomorrow. Burden-sharing in launching the prep in not really necessary - it’s not much work, but I need a reminder sometimes.
One thing is also that you and walden have been winning an awful lot recently, so maybe some burdensharing on that side would be fair 🤷

I rushed the shave and was tired. Very meh as a result – all due to user error.
Have a good night.

A good Zingari Zischtig, with one of the most sophisticated scents I have. Each time I have the impression that I’m not worthy of it.
Anyways, have a good night!

With boar brushes, you need probably MOAR soap
- Comment on Sunday SOTD Thread, January 25th, 2026 (#957) 3 weeks ago:
So, I cannot really count, since my sotd.el has acquired straight usage tracking very recently, but…
- it probably depends on the steel, harder steel holds an edge better ceteris paribus
- it may depend on your beard
In any case, if it feels rough, try maybe refreshing it just on your finishing stone. But @gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social gives certainly better advice than I.
