    • Brush: Chisel & Hound Brownstone 26mm V29 Fanchurian
    • Razor: Filarmonica 12 Doble Temple 5/8" Full Hollow
    • Lather: The Cajun Blade - Contraband Bay Rum - Soap
    • Toner: Thayers - Coconut - Toner
    • Aftershave: The Cajun Blade - Contraband Bay Rum Aftersauce - Aftershave

    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


    This was a test shave for the freshly honed edge on this razor. The comfortable Jnat edge, and the wonderful scent of Contraband Bay Rum made for a very enjoyable shave.

    • Brush: Maggard Razors - Tuxedo 24mm Synthetic
    • Razor: Worcester Razor Co. Straight - 6/8 Hollow (3)
    • Lather: Central Texas Soaps - Down at the River - Soap
    • Post Shave: MW - Bay Rum - Aftershave
    • Post Shave: Zingari Man - The Stargazer - Aftershave Serum

    Decent shave! Less irritation than yesterday – either because of my technique, the lather, or both! What am I saying, isn’t it all technique?

    This aftershave was sent to me by a good friend who I’ve converted to wetshaving. He made this Bay Rum using Rum, uh… Bay, and some other stuff. It’s very smooth and honestly smells great. A lot of the Bay Rum’s that I’ve smelled are sharp with the spiciness, and this one leans heavily into the actual Rum scent. Quite pleasing!

    After a long mild spell here we had a pretty big snow, so I decided to get out some more of my winter themed stuff again.

    Sample kill. I don’t think I’ll get Gingerbread Man again. It’s not bad. It’s one dimensional and the scent is pretty light.

    Airbud is protecting me from LatherBot brutality today.
