Brush: Rad Dinosaur Creations Copper Inferno w/ Trotter T1
Razor: Henson AL13++
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
Lather: Zingari Man - The Navigator
Post Shave: Zingari Man - The Navigator splash
Went for some more gentle gear today. The Navigator doesn't strike me as an incredibly complex scent, but sometimes you just want a simple, neutral, and clean smell and this fits that bill perfectly. Happy Monday everybody.
Brush: Zenith 506B MB (27 mm × 51 mm Manchurian badger)
Razor: Thiers Issard Le Dandy (5/8", square point, carbon steel)
Lather: Martin de Candre – Absinthe
Post Shave: L'Occitane – Eau de Baux
First use of Absinthe for me. I really like the MdC base, it's easy to work with and super slick, and the scent of Absinthe is nice. I think if I was given the soap to smell in a blind test, I'd have guessed that it's a spearmint chewing gum fragrance, though. Primed with the knowledge that they were going for absinthe, I can sniff the anise/fennel, but it doesn't scream fée verte to me. Not a problem, since it smells good anyway. Great all-EU-artisan shave.
The resilience of TSF is astounding. These numbers aren't final until ShavingInCt confirms them, but it looks like HoM, last year's winner, is done. The Mammoth Mafia seems to follow in the footsteps of the once mighty Order of the Stag.
Lather: Mike's Natural Soaps - Orange, Cedarwood, & Black Pepper
Post Shave: Fine Accoutrements - Italian Citrus Aftershave splash
Post Shave: Stirling - Glacial Unscented Aftershave balm
Fragrance: Chiseled Face - Summer Storm EdP
I really like this Mike's + Italian Citrus combination, it's perfect for a sunny California morning.
Yet again I'm impressed with the shave this MMOC gives me. Even though it has a ton of blade exposure, it shaves intuitively and comfortably. Great results with no irritation.
Lather: Barrister & Mann - Fougère Classique - Soap
Post Shave: Barrister & Mann - Petrichor - Aftershave
Post Shave: Dove Men+Care Ultra-Hydra Cream
I'm continuously impressed by this blade. The OG Guerilla is on the mild side, and this blade does seem to excel in mild razors. If you're someone who loves high efficiency and not much blade feel, the Guerilla is worth taking a look at. I've heard the new ones are a bit more aggressive, though.
I have at least 2 more P74 blades, but can't see myself having enough thrill to put them through their paces in the future.
If anyone here 1) has never tried a P74, 2) thinks they'd like to try one, 3) is willing to push through the first 10 shaves which might give them weepers, then let me know.
