Nov 2, 2023 - Theme Thursday: A Shave to Reminisce

  • Prep: Klar - Activated Charcoal - Face Soap
  • Brush: Trotter Handcrafts Souls 26mm T1 Fan Knot
  • Razor: Chiseled Face Legacy (Aluminum)
  • Blade: Gillette Nacet [7]
  • Lather: Westman Shaving - Alma - Soap
  • Post Shave: HAGS - Creature Lives - Aftershave Lotion

Today is Día de los Muertos in some cultures and All Souls Day in others. I took it as an opportunity to try out a new brush named Souls from Trotter. This particular batch of hair is particularly soft.

The Nacet worked much better for me today in the Legacy than it did in the Karve yesterday. I'm still impressed by the West Man base, which makes an incredible lather.

Alma is a scent that invokes a happy feeling from my past, but I struggle to place the exact memory. Maybe it doesn't quite fit with the theme, but it did work well this morning.

Still being the week of Halloween, I went with HAGS Creature Lives as the post. It's a dupe of Bleu de Chanel and it fit nicely with Alma.
