  • Frag: Chiseled Face - Ghost Town Barber EdP

My first shave with Pomona gave great results, but I think it gave me a bit of frag burn while it was on my face. I've had this happen with a couple of other soaps as well (Stirling Barbershop and the bit I tried of PAA Bay Rum before trading it away).

I'm wondering whether my skin may be sensitive to cinnamon or clove. There must be some shared ingredient contributing to this.

I plan to give it another shot with Pomona later this week or next since I enjoy the scent. But unfortunately, this might not ultimately be one for me. :(

Have a great day y'all. ✌️

I love Roam Two. That is all.

I am very curious to try the OG Roam, but I haven't seen it pop up on the zaar yet. Anyone want to trade a smush of Two for a smush of the OG? :)

Have a great one y'all. ✌️

First shave with this brush and razor (thanks u/EldrormR over on reddit!). The razor was very forgiving and felt nice and mild. The brush is very different from the Omega 10048 that I've been using over the last few months. Way less flop, much softer bristles.

I think I'm going to enjoy getting to know these two better.

Have a great one y'all. ✌️

First time trying Black Ice, I really enjoyed it. I love the smell of anice, and the kick of menthol was perfect for a warm day.

Ramblin' Man afterward to please the missus. Have a great one y'all! ✌️

  • Brush: Yaqi - Sagrada Familia 24mm synthetic
  • Razor: Rockwell - 6C (R4 + R2 plates)
  • Blade: Astra - Superior Platinum (5)
  • Lather: Barrister & Mann - Cologne Russe
  • Post: Nivea - Sensitive Post Shave Balm
  • Post: Chiseled Face - Midnight Stag AS splash
  • Frag: Chiseled Face - Midnight Stag EdP

Another first shave with a new sample, Cologne Russe was a lovely experience. Subtle, slightly powdery, with what smelled to me like a light cedar or oak note. I'm still developing a nose for these sorts of scents, so I could be way off base here!

Lather performed excellently as always. I'm growing to love the lower-structured lather that B&M provides. It still gives excellent slickness and a comfortable shave.

Have a great one y'all! ✌️

  • Brush: Omega - 10048 boar
  • Razor: Rockwell - 6C (R4 + R2 plates)

  • Post: Barrister & Mann - Roam Two AS splash
  • Frag: Barrister & Mann - Roam Two EdT

My first shave with this sample of Stirling Gentleman was very enjoyable. My wife liked the scent so much that she insisted I order the EdT for future use. 😊

Overall a close and comfortable shave. For whatever reason, one of our cats yelled at me for the entire shave. Of course, as soon as I finished she settled down and slept. 🙄

Have a great one y'all! ✌️

A great stankening this morning. Tabac always gives me a drama-free lather and shave.

Have a good one y'all! ✌️

Los Jabones de Joserra seems to have such interesting scents. I’d love to try some of their soaps one day.

Maybe I’ll see about finding some samples when I have a bit of space for more soap

Oro Valley is such a lovely scent for the fall.

What is BVWSC shave?

I didn't have time to shave until late today, it was a super busy Sunday. Le Grande Chypre gave me an excellent lather and was a wonderfully comforting scent to end the day with.
