There's no such thing as too much Brut. Today's shave was Brut to the extreme. Every single Brut product I could come up with.
Started off with:
Honeybee Soaps Brut Shea Butter Bath bar in the shower.
Brut Deodorant
Brut Splash-on, on the body and arms.
Then the Shave:
Razor: Rockwell 6S w/ fresh Personna
Brush: VDH Boar (green handled to match the Brut)
Soap: Wholly Kaw La Fougere Parfaite (an exact scent match for Brut.)
Brut Aftershave Splash
Brut Aftershave Balm
Brut Cologne splash
Brut EdT spray
Great shave and smelling awesome!

I haven't sniffed Brut in such a long time...I don't remember what it smells like. But looks like a great shave!
If you like Fougeres, pick some up next time you're at the store. It's a drug store AS and can be found just about anywhere.
I'll definitely have to give it a try!

Can't argue with that! I've still got the Brut scented shaving stick from Mama Bear, as well as the bar/bath soap.

Greetings True Believers!
This is going to be a doozy of a journal. Lots to talk about. Most of which I mentioned in my VLOG, but I know many don’t watch those, so here goes.
Yesterday started off with me going to the VFW to help put flags up at the cemetery for Veterans Day. We walked around the entire cemetery, and place a flag next to every tombstone that indicate the person had served in the military.
Then it was back to the VFW to get ready for the Kansas City Wet Shavers meetup. It was a great time. There were 8 of us, and we hung out for about 5 hours. Good food, good conversation, and lots of great stuff to sample, trade, and give away. I got to talk about a lot of my favorite soaps and there was a lot of interest in CBL, LNHC, and The Cadre!
I came home with an Oz Shaving Co set from the raffle, a T&S set and a B&M set from trades, and a Rockwell Model T that I purchased from one of the guys.
After the meetup, I went to an advanced screening of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. It was a free showing on the Air Force Base, and a week before it comes out to the public. It was very, very good and a must see for anyone who remotely likes the series. Better than the first Fantastic Beasts for sure!
I came home and checked my mail and found a slip from the Post Office saying I had a package, but it was postage due.... how does that even happen? I’m not even sure what it is because I don’t think I’m expecting anything. Weird.
Today I shaved with the Model T and the B&M First Snow. Overall a decent scent. Not a favorite, but it’ll do. And nice to have another winter theme soap. The Model T is interesting. It seems to be made like the Fatboy, but the blade is a bit flatter. So to me, it’s not as smooth and has more blade feel. At a 1 the blade is sitting right on the safety bar, and almost won’t shave. At a two, it’s almost too aggressive. Now, I’m only shaving my neck, so it’s hard to fully evaluate it, and I’ll have to wait until next month, to give it a full eval and decide if I’m going to keep it. Early signs point to no.
Now, I did have a realization today, that I’m not shaving my neck the same way I used to. And I’m causing more irritation. My sideways pass used to be more diagonal as I’d come from my cheeks. Now, I’ve been trying a directly sideways pass, and it’s not working well for me. The hair on my neck grows sideways, so that is ATG. I keep causing irritation that I’ve never had before. Time to change up my neck strokes.
We had our first snow on Wednesday night. The drive into work on Thursday was beautiful. I love snow.
But, by Thursday evening, most of it was gone. I was hoping it’d stick around a little bit longer. But, this alert just hit my phone:
I’m so excited!

Awesome update man! Glad the meetup went well and you got some decent scores!
I’ve had the “postage due” issue only once...and it happened to be on a PIF of all things. One of those things where people stick on a random amount of postage and toss it in a receiving bin I guess.
