I thought it smelled like incense 😱
I haven't found anything clear. What does it look like?
Monday, August 12, 2024: Finally a post!
- Brush: Semogue 610 Boar
- Razor: Edwin Jagger DE89
- Blade: Astra Superior Platinum
- Lather: The Goodfellas Smile Amber Fougère
- Postshave: Old Spice After Shave
Despite my lack of SOTD posts, I'm not dead (yet). I had some trouble finding time for posting here, between my relocations and a car breakdown (yay!). I have no idea how many shaves this blade has already seen, but the printing is not yet very washed out, so I would guess less than 20. And good news: no frag burn so far with Amber Fougère!
Have a good evening!
Thursday, August 1, 2024: Last Comfort Shave
- Preshave: Proraso Green Preshave
- Brush: Semogue C3 Galahad Horse 🐎
- Razor: River Razors Kamisori
- Lather: Zingari Man Bon Monsieur
- Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel
- Postshave: Zingari Man Bon Monsieur Recovery Splash
- Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm
This is the last shave before we leave for vacation. I took out the material I am most comfortable with, before I will engage is austerity of a different sort from the AA challenges. I got a very good and close shave.
Have a good day, and good luck to all the austerians!
Sunday, July 7, 2024: Restagged
- Brush: Yaqi 28mm Synthetic Rock
- Razor: Koraat 14.2 Straight Razor
- Lather: Chiseled Face Midnight Stag
- Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel
- Postshave: Chiseled Face Midnight Stag Aftershave
- Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm
I tried with a synthetic brush (the big Yaqi Rock, very nice!), loaded even more heavily, and results were better today. Still, I maintain that this base is probably the worst of the artisan bases I have.
Have a good day!
Sunday, May 26, 2024: Sunday again!
- Preshave: Proraso Green Preshave
- Brush: Semogue C3 Galahad Horse 🐎
- Razor: Parker Straight Razor
- Lather: Wholly Kaw Entropy Man
- Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel
- Postshave: Floid The Genuine
- Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm
I underhydrated the lather in the beginning, and it was not as slick as it could have been. And I continue to use this soap in spite of the scent rather than because of it.
Have a nice day!
A dusty sink?
(I'll see myself out)

- Preshave: Water -> Face
- Brush: Semogue C3 Galahad Horse 🐎
- Razor: King C. Gillette DE Razor
- Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (11)
- Lather: Haslinger Algae
- Post Shave: Williams Aqua Velva
- Post Shave: Nivea After Shave Balm
For the ceremonial shave, nothing beats a straight razor. But sometimes, you just want to get rid of your beard, and that's when DEs and Haslinger shines.
Have a good evening!

- Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (35)
- Lather: Southern Witchcraft Autumn Ash

I'm tired today, and felt it more prudent to use a DE. I nevertheless managed to nick myself in the upper lip.
Have a good day!
