On theme this morning with a mango sticky rice lather. I think this is my first time using the HoM base, and it gave me a stellar lather.

I’m not the biggest fan of sweet scents, but this wasn’t cloying at all. I doubt I’d buy a full tub, but it’s nice to have a sample kicking around.

Almost to the weekend y’all!

• Brush: AP Shave Co Strawberry Cream 26mm G5A

• Blade Holder: Blackland Razors Vector

• Blade: Feather Artist Club Professional (10)

• Lather: MacDuff’s Soap Co. - Old Strathcona - Soap

• Aftershave: Unilever - Brut - Aftershave

2 passes. Bowl lather. Excellent shave.

I don’t really do sweet and sugary, so I’m off theme today.

I haven’t used the Vector in a long time, but that can be said for all of my safety razors. I think the Vector is an incredibly clever design, but the razor’s cap has a squared-off threaded bolt that the handle screws onto. Very cool idea, and very easy to cross-thread. I wonder how many replacement caps they’ve sold? Still, it’s a great shaving razor.

• Brush: Mühle Purist (21 mm silvertip badger, ebonite handle)
• Razor: Mühle R41 GT Berlin edition
• Blade: Feather new Hi-Stainless
• Lather: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! Roman Spice
• Post Shave: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! Roman Spice
• Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! Roman Spice

This concludes my run through all Seaforth! Fragrances. I skipped Sea Ice Lime because it shares the fragrance with Sea Spice Lime and nobody needs koolada in western Swiss November. With Black Watch, Sea Spice Line, Heather, Spiced, and Fleur de France, Dennis and Shawn brought five of my all-time favourite fragrances in wetshaving, an astonishing hit ratio.

One thing I realised over the last week is that i prefer the 20.1 base over highland, but I get great performance from both, so I conclude that I must prefer the uNoBtAiNiUm one solely because it’s gone. Silly, but apparently I’m that guy.

Roman Spice was my AA setup, so it immediately felt routine. Great shave, nice šmellz.

The R41 GT still rocks, the Purist badger still sucks, now off to the office.
