  • Brush: Farvour Turn Crafts w/ C&H v12 Fanchurian
  • Razor: Ralf Aust 6/8, Full Hollow Spanish Point
  • Lather: House of Mammoth - Fú Dào
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Fú Dào Aftershave Splash
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Z Aftershave Balm

Fú Dào was the first HoM set I tried. The scent, as is the case with every scent, is not what I imagined. But it immediately had my attention. The scent was unique to anything I'd tried before and the Tusk base was just phenomenal. Tusk has become my favorite base, it's just so agreeable with me, and Bens perfumery is just something that completely stands out as his own.

This Ralf Aust is a wondeful shaver. Light and smooth as butter. It gave me a close and comfortable shave, free of any nicks or irritation.

Tusk is really up there for me, too. I like how flexible it is, and the kind of creaminess and slickness it provides is just what I like.

Agreed! Top tier base.

#SOTD Thursday 15 June, 2023

  • Prep: WDCB.org Chicago’s Home for Jazz
  • Prep: Warm Shower
  • Brush: Omega HI-Brush 146206 25mm Synthetic
  • Lather: Chiseled Face Midnight Stag 1st of 10 samples (6 shaves so far)
  • Bowl: Linkidea Shaving Bowl
  • Razor: 1961 #Gillette 195 Adjustable Fatboy
  • Blade: Shaving Revolution Platinum Series (11)
  • Post: Nivea Men Maximum Hydration Moisturizing Post Shave Balm
  • Post: Pinaud Clubman After Shave Lotion

I didn't want to like the Midnight Stag. I wrinkled my nose when I first unscrewed the lid. There was no way I wanted this stuff touching my face. Now after six shaves I’m a fan. Great lather and unique fragrance.

Have a great day, everybody!

A wetshaving prophet once said, “It only gets better or worse than Stag.”

I'm liking it.

June 15, 2023 – Funeral for a Friend

  • Razor: Gillette Tech Ball Handle Z-1
  • Blade: Gillette Winner (1)
  • Lather: Zingari – The Traditionalist

Funeral for a friend today.
She was my age.
Passed away from a brain aneurysm.
Everyone was shocked to hear the news.
Zeal wanes as we bid our earthly adieu.

Beautiful shave with a fresh blade. You should try Bixby.

The word Bixby is hated in my house. My wife's phone comes up at the wrong moments because of that app.. hates it.

Samsung's Bixby is a complete kluge.
