Apr 17, 2025 - Theme Thursday: Herbalist Day

• Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Heather - Eau de Toilette

Razor gud, lather not as good as I wanted but perfectly serviceable. Wanted to stay on @[email protected]’s suggested theme today so I went with green soap (Dr. K’s Peppermint shave soap), green razor (MOARteen), and green splash (Proraso green).

What I can say about the razor: it’s sharp enough to shave comfortably, the tang is plenty grippy even without jimping due to the rough finish, which was honestly an apprehension of mine, and even though the blade is a relatively large format at 15/16, the grind makes it lighter than I expected while being very stiff feeling.

• Brush: AP Shave Co Pure Bliss
• Razor: Chiseled Face Legacy Brass
• Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
• Lather Catie’s Bubbles - Florentine Fern
• Post Shave: Zingari Man - The Watchman

Thank you u/partyman97_3 for the reminder of the theme, as I had not checked it. I had to go with a sample u/brokenjaw622 sent me a while back. I’ll admit I was not really a fan of this scent when I initially smelled it, but once lathered up and shaving I was loving it. Finished it off with a splash sample that u/KerblimeySkal sent me awhile back which I think is the watchman. Great shave today with great products from great people in the community. Happy Thursday!

Santa Paula.

First shave in over a week and a late night one.

Picked this up after someone described it as a citrus scent for someone who doesn’t like citrus scents. Absolute banger and chiseled face base is always good for me when needing a quick shave

The Thu 17 Apr 2025

• Brush: Zenith – r/Wetshaving exclusive MOAR BOAR (31 mm × 57 mm bleached boar)
• Razor: Koraat – r/Wetshaving exclusive Moareen (15/16", full hollow, carbon steel)
• Lather: Stirling Soap Co – Varen
• Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co – Varen
• Fragrance: Stirling Soap Co – Varen

Varen is one of those scents that make a lot of sense trickholing since it overpowers most other scents rather than playing nice. Possibly something like BaM Fougère Classique or Fern could hold its own, though, so I might try that for tomorrow’s Fougère Friday.

Using Varen with the sub-exclusive brush and razor felt like a preview to upcoming green-in-green SOTDs when our own exclusive Stirling soap lands, and it has the added benefit of being on theme.

Thursday, April 17, 2025: Theme Thursday

• Brush: Rad Dinosaur Creations “Nebulagance” - TurnNShave Quartermoon 26mm synthetic
• Razor: Eldrormr Industries - MM24
• Blade: Accuforge - GEM Microcoat (8)
• Lather: Martin de Candre - Fougère
• Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Fougère Angelique Aftershave Splash
• Post Shave: Stirling - Glacial Unscented Aftershave balm
• Fragrance: Barrister and Mann - Fougère Aromatique EdT

On theme with some ferny goodness. This sample of MdC Fougère was given to me by Mr. Frankie with only 4 fingers (along with lots of other goodies) when he sent me the half tub of Absinthe that we split.

It’s a real pleasure to shave with, and the scent is balanced perfectly. I’m still impressed by how little soap I need to get a good lather from the MdC base. It’s pretty wild.

Have a good one y’all, almost to the weekend.
