The “small” 24 mm knot on the Washington is really nice to use and makes me question the trend to large badger knots. Usually this lasts until I use a large badger knot, at which point I remember why.
Cerberus Fougère caused me some anguish over the last couple weeks because I couldn’t find it. It seemed to have simply disappeared. I checked everywhere that made sense and some more places. Then yesterday, I found it right where it’s supposed to be, in my half of the bathroom cabinet, and I have no idea how I hadn’t immediately found it all this time. I must be getting old.
This was a fun scent progression, from earthy-citrussy over earthy-floral to earthy-green.

This Stankening is my 20ᵗʰ use of the Moarteen and its factory edge, and yet another great shave. I’m really happy with how the Moarteen turned out.

I had a late start and shaved over lunch break. Last week was 1 emergency room visit (turned out to be non-serious), going drinking with a friend who got laid off, and 4 birthday parties (three of which were mine, but I feel like complaining anyway). I needed a weekend, I got a Monday 🥴
At least the shave was nice.

Oh yeah, that’s quite the smile! And nice that you can continue to enjoy the razor, I never really understood why straight razors are as long as they are anyway.

Nice afternoon shave after a busy Sunday morning and a busy week. The Martin de Candre base works really well for me and the spearmint bubblegum scent of Absinthe is pure childlike joy.

First go with Mike’s Vetiver for me, and this thing is grassy. I’ve known vetiver that is earthy, stanky, even fresh, and I’ve often seen it described as a grassy note, but this is the first time I experience it myself. Noice! Thanks u/EldrormR for the puck!
I’m enjoying going through various software combinations while keeping the sub-exclusive hardware fixed, and I think I’ll continue this way through May until The Games force my hand. Have a great Friday, my friends!

Silver Mountain Water was a birthday gift from my wife. The Stirling dupe is a favourite of mine, and I had been wanting to buy the original for quite some while, but never pulled the trigger. Wonderful shave, this.

Birthday shave 🎂. This is the Soft Heart version of 42 that came with the finger balm back in 2021. I recently picked up a trick of it with the soap in Excelsior on the discord BST because I wanted the alcohol splash and the frag.

Not sure about “fan”, but there are gourmands I enjoy a lot, like Haverford, Don Josè, or Irish coffee. I have to be in the mood, though

The Maggard Meet FOMO is real, especially those BaM “Intro to fragrance kits” seem great. Alas, it’s too difficult to me to justify travelling intercontinentally for a hobby fair. Maybe some time in the future.
Koké is great. The pear and musk are fresh and warm at the same time, sweet without being cloying or even gourmand, really a unique fragrance category in my den. I had a great shave to start the week, time to start the grind.

Namely on a mobile phone you can’t search for items.
Not a real solution, but on mobile you can always choose to “Desktop Site” and get the same page as on a computer. At the price of a little scrolling and zooming

CCC was a blind buy. It came up on Murphy and McNeill for a good price and with all the positive comments on the discord, I couldn’t resist.
It’s warmer than I expected, and with a solid earthy base. Very enjoyable, and I’m looking forward to experiencing it more over the next weeks.
