Los Jabones de Joserra Gredos
Seygus Zeppelin 2025 Edition -Matte Stainless Steel (BullGoose Shaving)
Trotter Handcrafts Brush with a T1 Manchurian 2-Band Badger

Scent: A delicious creation that incorporates light floral and gourmand notes where a hint of dark bourbon is combined with rich fruity nuances. An aroma that awakens the senses. Hints of salted caramel, vanilla essence, and sweet buttercream are combined with sandalwood, amber, iris, and musk.

The Seygus Zeppelin 2025 model is a moderately aggressive razor that shaves incredibly smoothly partly due to its inverted smile design which increases the tautness and blade subjection. Machined out of 316L stainless steel and made one at a time in Spain, the Zeppelin observes all of the European laws of quality and safety.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Returned to Stirling Soap Co. and their excellent "Bay Rum" shave soap. Fantastic old school scent with incredible lather built with the Paladin 2-Band badger brush for for two passes (plus touch-up) with the Super 109 and I finished up with alum, Quinn's "Grapefruit and Orange Rind" witch hazel and Clubman "Virgin Island Bay Rum" aftershave lotion.

Hope you have a great day. :)
