Shave Count (DE: 625 SE: 9 SR: 1008)

Pre Shave-
Strop: none
Scuttle: GP Scuttle
Splash and go

Shave-
Razor: Shumates Barber
Blade: none
Brush: Knothead Boar
Soap: DentonMajik Masters of the Green

Post Shave-
Post shave lather
AS: none

I received 3 samples of soap from a maker called DentonMajik.

Today I took a test drive of my first sample, Masters of the Green. This is a light, fresh scent but not in my wheelhouse. I did try it to see how the scent opened up when lathered. A light, pleasant scent, but I would not purchase based on scent. I found it easy to lather and it does build a nice dense lather that is slick. I forgot that the boar I was using today holds a bunch of water, but it was not a problem with this soap. Between my three passes, the residual slickness was nice and still present while rinsing. I didn’t chase this with any aftershave, and the post shave feel was nice as well. I am curious what other scents the vendor has. I may follow up on that, once I finish a few others. Life is good!

I like this Artisan - when you get a full tub - they put a poker chip in it as a scoop . Even though I’m a face latherer - I thought that was cool. Scents are so subjective - but they run the gamut. I have one that is based on the 80’s frag - Ralph Lauren Safari (soap is called Kusafiri) and one called Hot Laguna Nights - which is a citrusy, boozy night time scent.

The other ones that I have looked at is an homage to Nautica Voyage (most popular frag on Amazon - nice freshie) And they just released on that is based on Versace Eau Fraiche - another well known summer frag.

In addition to Safari - they also have one that is an homage to Rive Gauche (the very definition of barbershop scent IMO) and upscale Creed Himalaya

Have a great day Tim!

Thanks Brian, you too!

I have the Kusafiri and Hot Laguna Nights samples to try also. The chips sound cool, but I also face lather

I saw that. Most of his stuff is sold out.

They seem to be the artisan du jour of late - they usually restock pretty quickly I have seen though

Great...more soap for me to want!
