  • Brush: Zenith/Stirling - 510SE-XL 31mm Boar
  • Razor: Yates Precision Manufacturing 921-M
  • Blade: Wizamet Super Iridium (6)
  • Lather: Catie's Bubbles - Porch Drinks - Soap
  • Post Shave: Zingari Man - The Rambler - Recovery Splash
  • Post Shave: Oleo & Co. - Facial Toner - Toner
  • Fragrance: Stirling - Haverford - EdT

My first shave with a new-to-me tub of Porch Drinks went really well. I was a little worried the cardamom would burn my face, as clove and cinnamon both have a tendency to. No burn! That bubbles guy sure knows what he's doing.

Haverford++; one day I need to try the TF original.

I'm glad it's the weekend!

Also glad for some slightly cooler weather, and we have some rain forecasted for the first half of next week. Should be great weather for our BVWSC shave. :)

Has anyone not received their smush?

Those Omega knots are so damn nice once they break in.

Gee thanks! :)

I thought I wanted to sell it, but as I’ve used it more I think it’s earned a spot.

Tagging in for $rocktober.

I still have plenty of this test sample left, hoping to maybe finish it off before the end of the year.

Great lather, excellent performance. I really like this soap and will probably pick up a tub of the final recipe when more is available.

My guess is 150+

It still cuts pretty well! I'm waiting for the efficiency to really drop off before stropping.
