Sep 29, 2024 - Pumpkin Harvest

• Brush: Farvour Turn Craft Eye of Jupiter 27mm Motherlode Synthentic Knot
• Razor: Blackland Razors Blackbird Ti
• Blade: Gillette Platinum [9]
• Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Autumn Glory - Soap
• Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Autumn Glory - Aftershave
• Fragrance: Southern Witchcrafts - Samhain - Eau de Parfum

Autumn Glory was a blind buy based on some recommendations and reviews. I can't say that I regret it either. It's a wonderful scent to usher in the Fall season. Samhain is one of my all-time favorite Autumn scents. This is my version of the PSL.

Sep 25, 2024 - An Inspired Shave

• Brush: Lowborn Supply Montrose Beach 26mm Synthentic Knot
• Razor: Karve Shaving Co. Overlander
• Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Super Stainless (Green) [17]
• Lather: Abbate y La Mantia - Koké - Soap
• Post Shave: Abbate y La Mantia - Koké - Aftershave
• Fragrance: Declaration Grooming/House of Mammoth - Cerberus - Eau de Parfum

Today's shave was inspired by @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social . He recently combined Koké with Cerberus and the scent combination seemed intriguing. I still haven't quite nailed down the scent of Koké, but it does have a similar vibe to Cerberus.

Thank you! I bought this brush from Ben, so it has a special significance using it with HoM sets.

Sep 22, 2024 - Bay Rumday

• Brush: Maritime Brush Co Box Puffer 24mm M5C Synthentic Knot
• Razor: Mühle Rocca R94
• Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Super Stainless (Green) [6]
• Lather: Barrister and Mann - Bay Rum - Soap (Excelsior)
• Post Shave: Abbate y La Mantia - Laureato - Aftershave
• Fragrance: Chicago Grooming Co. - El Caballero - Eau de Parfum

I'm not a big fan of Excelsior, but it's the B+M base that I started with. It does the job, but it just takes me a little longer to dial in.

This was a nice range of Bay Rum scents to get the day going.
