2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


TNeV cannot be denied. A wonderful scent that contributed to a terrific start to my day.

Lather buddies 🍻 (but not coincidentally)

Thé Noir et Vanille Saturday, apparently!

  • Brush: Dogclaration LG 2022 Mystery Brush (B16)
  • Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur Unnumbered 8/8" ( hollow ground, stainless steel, round point)
  • Lather: Noble Otter Thé Noir et Vanille
  • Aftershave: Noble Otter Thé Noir et Vanille
  • Fragrance: Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille

I'm shamelessly copying @[email protected] and @[email protected] today. Any excuse to use delicious TNeV is a welcome one and now I even got two. This big modern Friodur is a true joy to use and hearing it effortlessly slice through stubble (39 hours worth of stubble, practically a hobo beard by recent standards) is just so damn satisfying. The scales have already loosened a bit. That happened a bit too quickly and probably means I should repin them, but that's a problem for future me.

Tobacco Vanille ++;
Thé Noir et Vanille ++; ___

TNeV++;

I felt as if i skipped a day with 24 hours of stubble. Can’t imagine 39 :)

Can’t imagine 39 :)

This should help 😅

I've had a craving to use TNeV. Glad we could offer some inspiration. 😁

Does SBS have multiple bases or is it all the same?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

They've had one soap base since April 2019, appropriately named Honor Roll. I don't have any soaps in their original soap base (released March 2018) to compare against though. Probably for the best since Honor Roll is so good. 😊

Oh, a Ruds review, I haven't read I've if those in a while☺️

One base, I just meant I need more SBS scents 👃

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I would agree that the base is excellent, and that you need more of their scents. 😊 Especially since Laurel Mountain is a collab, as great as it is. I've yet to find a SBS scent that I didn't like on some level. Which of their scents have you tried?

That's a great place to start. If you like tobacco scents definitely check out Valedictorian.
