Varen Vrijdag

Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts Papa Eld with Declaration Grooming B3 knot
Razor: Thiers Issard Le Dandy
Lather: Stirling Soap Co. — Varen
Aftershave: House of Mammoth/Noble Otter/Declaration Grooming Cerberus — Fougère
Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! Heather

Nice shave this morning, as usual with Varen and it's sheep tallow base. I think I've reached the point where the widening ring of death significantly hinders brush loading. I'll have to smush that down before my next Varening.

Prep: hot tea, hot shower
Brush: Omega 0146138 HI-BRUSH, 25mm Synthetic Shaving Brush
Razor: Gillette Aristocrat (1948-50)
Blade: Durablade Sharp Hi Chromium
Lather: Stirling – Sharp Dressed Man - Shave Soap
Post Shave: Stirling – Sharp Dressed Man - Post Shave Balm

The Stirling ring of death on continues. Once it starts it always seems to last much longer than I expect it to.

🌿 Fougère Friday: L'Avventura🪻

Brush: Chisel & Hound/House of Mammoth Beloved 26mm v15 Fanchurian Knot
Razor: EldrormR Industries MM24
Blade: Personna GEM PTFE [8]
Lather: Grooming Dept - L'Avventura - Soap
Post Shave: Grooming Dept - L'Avventura - Aftershave (Alcohol Free)
Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Heather - Eau de Toilette

The bright fougère of L'Avventura was very nice this morning, especially in combination with Heather.

The blade in the MM24 is finally getting to that point where it's just a smooth shave with no aggression whatsoever. Love it!

Rating: 4/5
