Shave #94 (500 Open Blade Shaves) of 2022:

Gear: Gillette NEW LC, Astra SP blade, Stirling 2-band synth brush, CBL 50 SoV soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe mix, Sir Irisch Moos AS, and Guerlain Vetiver to finish!

Ah Monday…nemesis of the working modern working person everywhere.

Great, freshie shave to start the week. The 50 SoV should go relatively quickly I’m thinking. This was a basic formula that emulated MdC I think. Super easy lathering and Chris added some soy I believe to pump up the face feel. Makes me want to grab some MdC at some point for sure! Finished with Moos and Guerlain ftw!

Hope you all have a great Monday!

Have a great week Chris!

Coffee or a stiff drink?

How do you like the Moustache? I‘ve been so close to pulling the trigger on it or Eau de Rochas Homme.

Ended up finding the coffee first

The Moustache EDT is nice for summer wear, though one does have to overspray quite a bit. Same vein of scent as 4711, that’s to say more citrus and powder.

The EDP is a fantastic, date night type sexy scent, totally opposite of the EDT. Not tries Eau de Rochas, but I’ve seen it pop up here n there.

Gear: Gillette NEW LC, Astra SP blade, Yaqi Moka synth brush, Clown Puke tub soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe mix, RR The Stallion AS, and Rochas Moustache EDP to finish!

Ended up getting to 90° yesterday and didn’t start cooling down till late night…I a coastal city where most homes don’t have AC that’s unfortunately that’ll continue the next few days.

Great shave though to get my day rolling! Brought out the alternate soap and followed up yesterday’s Moustache EDT use with the EDP today. Yum!

It’s Wednesday! Hang in there folks!

Happy Wednesday!

I do miss living by the beach,.

Shave #97 (500 Open Blade Shaves) of 2022:

Gear: Gillette NEW LC, Astra SP blade, Stirling 2-band synth brush, CBL 50 SoV soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe mix, Fine AB AS, and Fine AB EDT to finish!

It’s Thursday! Not much to note really! Though if you saw the “What are you anxiously waiting to be delivered” thread, you probably saw my Dior Homme Sport 2012 find. The first of my attempts to round out my Dior Homme line which I love so much.

This particular Sport is the second iteration under the Homme Sport title but interestingly the only Sport iteration that includes Tuscan Iris as the Homme line is kind of known for. Otherwise it’s main notes include citron, ginger, cedar, and various other “green” notes. Most sport frags are blueish…this leans greenish. Supposed to be a great year round frag, even in summer, but still with some refinement and class. Looking forward to trying it!

The Sport and regular Homme iterations have undergone a lot of formula changes over the years, with notable differences. I probably won’t pause all of them, but instead pick the best representation from each…which I feel I did with Sport 2012. There’s also an Eau and a Cologne to be sought out.

Anyways…great shave this morning! Shook things up for the work day with some Fine AB usage. So I’m smelling grand!

Have a great Thursday all!
