It works well enough for now, but I'd love to get more eyes on it!

Saturday, November 09, 2024: SLS - Sample Saturday

  • Brush: Yaqi - Sagrada Familia 24mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Rockwell - 6C
  • Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (6)
  • Lather: Southern Witchcrafts - Carpathia
  • Post: Old Spice Aftershave splash
  • Post: Stirling - Glacial Unscented Aftershave balm
  • Frag: Stirling - Stirling Gentleman EdT

I can't tell if it's this brush or the SW base, but I definitely felt some burn while lathering this evening.

I hope it's not the base. I really love many of SW's scents.

I've never used talc after a shave. I'm curious: when do you tend to use it, and what does it do for you exactly?

Friday, November 08, 2024: SLS - Monsoon Memories

  • Brush: Omega - 10048 boar
  • Razor: Rockwell - 6C

  • Lather: Chiseled Face - Summer Storm
  • Post: Chiseled Face - Summer Storm Aftershave splash

Summer Storm always brings me back to monsoon season in New Mexico. Fond memories of beautiful sunsets, the smell of rain in the desert, and the sound of thunder in the distance. A great way to end the week.

Easy fix, have emacs available everywhere. :)

It's a massive improvement from manually typing out my SOTD posts. I also love that I don't have to put as much thought into how many uses I have on a blade, it's just in my config file.

I plan to make some changes in the near future, but overall it's been great!

Heather sounds great! Iโ€™ve still yet to try any Spearhead soaps. Definitely on my list to pick up at some point.

A lovely end to the day. We made it to Friday, and I'm looking forward to a relaxing weekend. The Rhapsody soap and balm are a winning combination, and the Stirling Gentleman EdT pairs really well with the scent.

Thursday, November 07, 2024: FLS - International Stout Day

  • Brush: Omega - 10048 boar
  • Razor: Gillette - Super Speed Black Tip
  • Blade: Gillette - Perma-Sharp (3)
  • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Lavanille
  • Post: Chiseled Face - Midnight Stag AS splash
  • Post: Stirling - Glacial Unscented AS balm
  • Frag: Chiseled Face - Midnight Stag EdP

I don't have any soaps with stout as an ingredient, but this shave was full of vanilla, oak, smoke, and darkness. I think it fits the bill.

I love the scent of Lavanille. Dark, mysterious, and rich. It's one that I might get a full set of when the sample is out.

November 6, 2024 - FLS

  • Razor: Rockwell - 6C (R3 plate)

  • Lather: Stirling - Arkadia
  • Post: Stirling - Arkadia AS splash
  • Post: Ginger's Garden - Unscented AS balm (+menthol)

I'm glad I took today off to recover from the election chaos. The sun rose as always and I was able to take my time with this luxurious (โ„ข๏ธ) shave. It left me feeling super refreshed.

I love the scent of Arkadia, one of my favorite Stirling dupes.

Have a great day y'all!

  • Brush: Omega - 10048 boar
  • Razor: Rockwell - 6C (R3 plate)

  • Lather: Chiseled Face - Ghost Town Barber
  • Post: Chiseled Face - Ghost Town Barber AS Splash

  • Frag: Chiseled Face - Ghost Town Barber EdP

I definitely overloaded my brush and had a bit of a hard time getting enough water into the lather. After a bit of work, though, it developed nicely.

I'm so glad it's the weekend, but somehow my day is full of responsibilities already. At least I smell great!

Happy Saturday y'all. โœŒ๏ธ
