Lather: Southern Witchcraft Valley of Ashes
Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel

I'm getting nostalgic – why did SW shut down? Valley of Ashes is so great. Good and smooth shave, and I again managed to spare the moustache area.

Have a good day!

Razor: Koraat 6/8" Full Hollow
Lather: Declaration Grooming - Cerberus - Soap
Toner: Thayers - Coconut - Toner
Aftershave: Noble Otter - Cerberus - Aftershave

3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

This trifecta is so good, it deserves a new release. I have received positive comments on this in public and even the dog (who often seems as if he has three heads) likes this scent.

I never got the chance to try Cerberus, so I very much agree that it deserves a new release.

Sounds like I should nominate it for a BVWSC Wednesday.

Lather: Chiseled Face - Gearhead - Soap
Post Shave: Summer Break Soaps - Woodshop - Aftershave

Great bunch of scents here.

I learned that https://razorbladesclub.com has resumed shipping to the USA at some point, so figured I didn't have to ration my Zorrik blades anymore.

I only did 2 passes since I might need a luxury shave tonight so I don't have to shave tomorrow morning. I'm giving an aviation presentation at an elementary school in the morning.
