  • Brush: Grizzly Bay - Chisel & Hound v24 Fanchurian 28mm Badger
  • Razor: Gillette Slim Adjustable (L4, 1966)
  • Blade: Wizamet Super Iridium (5)
  • Lather: Woolly Wash Soapery - Outback - Soap
  • Post Shave: Chiseled Face - Summer Storm - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Oleo & Co. - Facial Toner - Toner
  • Fragrance: Stirling - Deep Blue Sea - EdT

Another excellent shave with Outback. This base really has top shelf slickness.

Summer Storm into Deep Blue Sea was, in retrospect, an obvious combination that worked quite well. I'm surprised I haven't tried the combo before.

If you organize another buy, and if the tariff situation changes, Outback would probably be my choice.

Nice setup today! Bleu de Chanel (duped by Deep Blue Sea) is one of my favorites.

Count me in for a group buy as well. Also, Bundubeard (S Africa).

Thanks! I am also a fan of DBS and may convince my wife to get me a bottle of BdC for my birthday.

Unlikely that Iโ€™ll spearhead another group buy this year since I have three basically full tubs. Never say never though! ;)
