January 8, 2024 - MMMMFF

  • Brush: Grizzly Bay Shire 26mm V18 Fanchurian
  • Razor: GEM Micromatic Flying Wing
  • Blade: Personna Gem PTFE (3)
  • Lather: House of Mammoth - Indigo - Soap
  • Toner: Thayers - Lavender - Toner
  • Aftershave: House of Mammoth - Indigo - Splash
  • Fragrance: Floris of London - No. 89 - Eau de Toilette

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


I planned to have a Marilyn Monday shave midday, but there's always Marilyn Mardi. After seeing u/djundjila's MMMMFF shave this morning I changed my plans so I could join in some Formation Flying. The blueberry and rum in Indigo did not disappoint. A very interesting fragrance, for sure.

Welcome to the formation πŸ›©οΈ

How do you like NΒΊ 89? It's one @semaj3000@wetshaving.social like a lot, I think

Oh, I like it. Woody with nice citrus balance. I've also tried Elite which seems greener, but very nice also. I bought a sampler from Floris a long while ago. I need to use these more.
