- Blade: Personna - GEM PTFE (8)
- Lather: Barrister and Mann - Paganini’s Violin

- Post Shave: Stirling - Glacial Unscented Aftershave balm
- Fragrance: Mäurer & Wirtz - SIR Irisch Moos EdT
This morning, I voted again for BaM with Paganini’s Violin. Some joke that this is a really well-done unscented soap, and I get the joke, but after spending time with it, I’m impressed by how well-rounded and subtle the scent really is.
The creamy tea and clean skin scent is perfectly pleasing when I want something mild. It’s a great clean scent.
Finished off with Irisch Moos this morning because I’m excited about the sheep tallow I, Rich Moose from Stirling. Very much looking forward to that soap.
Have a great Saturday y’all, and let’s go BaM!
PV is my go to when I just want something mild and understated. I still smell it throughout the day, but it’s just the right kind of mellow
Yeah, the longevity is pretty wild for such a mild scent.
I don’t reach for it super often, but I never regret it when I do.

- Post Shave: Catie’s Bubbles - Azure splash

It’s been a good month of chaos. I totally slept on C Bubs until u/brokenjaw622 put me on them with a more than generous amount of smushes. I now have 3 full size tubs and a sample tub. As much as of a C Bubs Stan I’ve been, Will is equally of deserving of a win if he gets it. It’s nice to have a bunch of cool artisans in the community.

Go Bubbles!
I hope Bubbles wins this, but I felt compelled to have a little Chypre in my life today.
That turned out to be a dangerous decision, this was as close as it gets
Same gear
Elysium pineapple ambrosia.
This soap ( and splash) appeared once day with a 1914. Unexpected and a massive surprise courtesy of hairy.
Does show how awesome folk on the sub are

Aftershave: Barrister and Mann - Le Grand Chypre - Aftershave
3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
I purchased this razor for about $12. The razor arrived with a dull, ragged edge so I decided to perform my entire honing progression on an 8000 grit Shapton Glass stone video. Today’s shave was a test of the edge that I created. I had a full-on BBS, comfortable shave with this razor.

Decided to use one of my favorite BAM scents to round off a wonderful month of shaves. This was an incredible contest; absolutely loved the Royal Rumble format. Thanks so much to /u/ShavingInCT for running this event—it was a great way to get through the grey doldrums of March.
