    Monday, June 17, 2024: Les lundis de l’entropie

    Late shave, everything ok. Not on theme – got obviously sidetracked by the mention of cow.

    Have a good night!

    • Brush: Maggard 24mm 2 Band Badger
    • Razor: Blackland Era - Level 3 SB
    • Blade: Bolzano Superinox (German) (8)
    • Lather: Wet Shaving Products - Black Amber Vanille - Soap
    • Post Shave: Southern Witchcrafts - Incorporeal - Aftershave

    Before today I would have told you to steer clear of the Rustic soap base from Wet Shaving Products, because it’s pretty much garbage compared to, well, everything.

    Today I cracked the code, though, and the lather was honestly pretty decent. I loaded heavy with a dry-side-of-damp brush to avoid things bubbling up too much. The initial lather was the consistency of marshmallow fluff™, and after adding a suitable amount of water, the lather was good.

    The only thing (ok two things) that have kept this soap in my collection is 1) it was a gift from a dear friend, and 2) the scent is fucking amazing. It’s right up my alley.

    Figured I’d use an aftershave from a notable vegan artisan, Southern Witchcrafts.

    • Brush: Simpsons Chubby 2 Jade 27mm HMW

    • Razor: Dovo Bismarck 6/8" Full Hollow Round Point

    • Lather: Catie’s Bubbles - Waterlyptus - Soap

    • Post Shave: Combe Inc. - Aqua Velva Classic Ice Blue - Aftershave

    • Post Shave: Thayers - Lavender - Toner

    • Fragrance: Initio - Paragon - Eau de Parfum

    • Talc: Yardley Gold
       

    I have a knee-jerk negative reaction to the idea of lathering on my knee. Waterlyptus was the perfect way to start this hot, humid day here in MD. Chris had a stroke of genius with this scent.

    Don’t have a Cow, Man!

    • Brush: Мужской Материк - Blue Stabilised Burl with Maggard Tuxedo knot #FRANKENBRUSH
    • Razor: Dovo Bismarck 2 (7/8", full hollow, carbon steel)
    • Lather: Talent Soap Factory – Razberri and Tomato Leaf
    • Post Shave: Noble Otter – 茉莉綠茶
    • Fragrance: Tom Ford – Tobacco Oud

    Theme: Talent Soap Factory produces a vegan base.

    Relevant post and frag: I received this smush from Chief Podcast Djustice u/OnionMiasma who notably has a plant-based username (thanks for the smush!!). In his honour, I only used software with plant-based names. Raspberry and tomato leaf in the soap, jasmine and green tea in the splash, and tobacco and agarwood in the frag.

    Challenge: since I skipped the leg shave yesterday, I did not get to do a shoulder lather today and had to go with the knee. This was my first time using TSF soap, and this isn’t my most practised lather method, so I was a bit uncertain how this would end. Luckily, the TSF base is super easy to pick up and to hydrate slowly, so I didn’t make too much of a mess in the bathroom.
