Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

It's "Synthwave Saturday" so here's a playlist for you. Hope you enjoy.


Phenomenal shave this morning! Returned to Phoenix Shaving and their excellent AdP Colonia homage "Amalfi 3K" shave soap and splash. Great scent with incredible lather built with the Wild West Brushworks synth for three passes (plus DE clean up around the neck) with the Feather AC straight and I finished up with alum, Quinn's Pink Grapefruit and Orange Rind witch hazel, & AdP "Colonia" the aftershave lotion, Pecksniff's "Grapefruit & Citron talc & AdP "Colonia" EdC.

The "Happy Hogan" Homefront Report: Ewww! Muggy, muggy, muggy!

Hope you have a great day. :)

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

There's only one song I feel I could feature today.


It's always a treat when I come back to this soap after some time away. It is to me possibly the greatest soap ever. No scent but incredibly thick and slick lather built with the Phoenix Shaving synth synth for two passes (plus touch-up) with the RazoRock Game Changer and I finished up with alum, and the matching aftershave lotion & talc.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Going with a couple of 80's classics from David Bowie. Hope you enjoy.



Fantastic shave with which to kick off the workweek! Returned to Martin de Candre and their phenomenal "Agrumes" shave soap. Nice, light citrus scent with incredible lather built with the Paladin 2-Band badger brush for for two passes (plus touch-up) with the Timeless TRBR38 and I finished up with alum and Dior "Eau Sauvage" aftershave balm and EdT.

The "Happy Hogan" Homefront Report: Tired this morning. Nit the best night's sleep. One of those nights where it feels like you wake up every half hour. Coffee and a great shave are helping.

Hope you have a great day. :)
