SOTD - 9/18/2024

House of Mammoth Shire 2
Brush by Runeman Nordic Shave Design / 26mm Boti SHD Captains Finest 2 Band bulb
Alpha Shaving Works / Shave Dad Aluminum Razor

From the House of Mammoth website:

Shire was inspired by a friend who loves The Hobbit, and suggested a scent that captures the opening scene where Bilbo is relaxing with his pipe and taking in the verdant beauty of the shire, when Gandalf arrives to invite him on an adventure.
Fresh air and violets mix to form a light breezy opening, with rich green heartnotes and a warm tobacco base. It’s a summery tobacco scent, if that’s possible, and we hope you like it.
I've rebuilt the fragrance from the ground up with the same notes and inspiration, but better perfumery skills and materials. Always improving.

Shire 2 notes: violets, fresh air, vetiver, spice, and tobacco.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Returned to Saponificio Varesino and their excellent "Dolomiti" shave soap & ASL. Great scent and fantastic lather built with the Paladin "El Dorado" 2-band select badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the Gillette Red Tip and I finished with the matching ASL.

Hope you have a great day. :)
