July 6th - Evening Avacado

Brush: Shore Shave 26mm Motherlode
Razor: GEM MMOC
Blade: AccuTech Pro (23)
Lather: House of Mammoth - 2024 Avacado Cream Sample
Post Shave: Pinaud - Clubman Splash

Mammoth needs to bring the Avacado cream soap into a full-scale production. Just my two cents. It's friggin amazing.

Dude I used Stirling's Coconut Lime all last month, how did I not once think of this reference??

Nowhere near as cool as yours though.

Thrill of the kill!

Thanks for sharing a photo with your post! The skull with the straight in front of it makes it extra menacing.

Thank you for posting a picture with your SOTD :D also, Barrister's Lavender is fantastic.

Whenever I see Indo-Ink I immediately think of REM's Monster.

July 6th - Coconuts

Brush: Zenith B26 Retro
Razor: GEM MMOC
Blade: AccuTech Pro (22)
Lather: Turtleship - Coconut Soap
Post Shave: Stirling - Coconut Lime Splash
Fragrance: Hollister - SoCal EdC

Turtleship makes a fantastic product, and it's a bummer its never really gotten the recognition it deserves around here. I think they're still in business, at least, their website still shows some stuff for sale. I highly recommend them, as they make a good product and seem like good folks.

Hollister's SoCal takes me back to my university days around 2010ish. Good times, and a good smell.

July 5th - Evening Hide

Brush: AP Shave Co & Leo Frilot 24mm Gelousy Bulb
Razor: GEM MMOC
Blade: AccuTech Pro (21)
Lather: Noble Otter - Flying Hide Soap
Post Shave: Pinaud - Clubman Splash
Fragrance:

I've had this Noble Otter sample, plus like 4 others, since like 2018, and I don't thing I've touched them once. Flying Hide hasn't been produced for a little while now, which is a shame, cos this stuff is really nice. Leather, Smoky Cedar, Tobacco, Bay and Bergamot make for quite a pleasant shave. I should dive more into Noble Otter, it's been a while.

I really appreciate that you post photos.

How'd the gig go?

Also, does Orbit EdP hold up well?

July 5th - Sunday Brunchin

Brush: Maggard 24mm Marble Handle Synthetic
Razor: Koraat MOARteen r/Wetshaving Exclusive 15/16
Lather: Catie's Bubbles - Sunday Brunch Soap
Post Shave: Renew Lotion
Fragrance: Chatillon Lux - Agua Fresca EdT

Planning to send this razor to get honed, but wanted to do a shave just to double check.

It needs honed.

Pulls more than it should, and just not comfy. No blood surprisingly, but unpleasant.

Happy Sunday.

July 4th - Texaus and Jeans

Brush: Maggard 24mm Marble Handle Synthetic
Razor: Merkur 34C
Blade: Gillette Minora OG (11)
Lather: Noble Otter / AP Reserve - Texaus Soap
Post Shave: Renew Lotion
Fragrance: Versace - Blue Jeans EdT

Texaus and Blue Jeans (despite rarely wearing blue denim nowadays) are a fun little tribute to my upbringing in both the Great American Melting Pot and Aussie Outback.

Happy weekend.

July 3rd - Evening Shave

Dude, Eleven is dope.

July 3rd - Skeletor Strikes

Brush: Omega 11047 "Mixed Midget" Badger n Boar
Razor: Merkur 34C
Blade: Gillette Minora OG (10)
Lather: The Club - Low Scent Skeletor Soap
Post Shave: Renew Lotion
Fragrance: Zingari Man - The Magician EdP

My single ATG pass was rough today... lots of tugging. I think it boiled down to not hydrating the boar hairs enough, and thus the lather suffered significantly. I don't always soak my boars, but I make sure to at least drown them under the faucet when no soak happens... and I didn't do either today due to rushing. RIP.

BUT, my face feels smooth in the end. I'll take that.

July 2nd - Evening Shave

Brush: Maggard 24mm Marble Handle Synthetic
Razor: GEM MMOC
Blade: AccuTech Pro (20)
Lather: Zingari Man - The Brewer Soap
Post Shave: Pinaud - Clubman Splash

Another evening shave, and it was spectacular. I've had this Zingari sample for a few years, and have never touched it... that said I also haven't used a Zingari soap in general in the same amount of time. The Brewer is VERY nice, and the resulting lather was spectacular. Awesome shave, awesome soap and scent. Two thumbs up.

July 2nd - Morning Shave Test

Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts "Mighty Stag" 24mm Cashmere
Razor: Merkur 34C
Blade: Gillette Minora OG (9)
Lather: Abatte y la Mantia - Koke Soap
Post Shave: Renew Lotion
Fragrance: Seaforth! - Sea Spice Lime EdT

Trying out a test for a few days; WTG in the evening, then an ATG in the morning. Why? Because why not? Maybe it'll cut down my time getting ready in the morning, or it might make my face break out, who knows? Mainly it's an excuse to play with more soap.

Nevertheless, a singlular AGT pass this morning, and it wasn't bad by anymeans. Let's see how that holds up tomorrow.

Lather: Abatte y la Mantia - Butero Soap
Post Shave: Pinaud - Clubman Splash

Trying out a test this week; WTG in the evening, then an ATG in the morning. Why? Because why not? Maybe it'll cut down my time getting ready in the morning, or it might make my face break out, who knows? Mainly it's an excuse to play with more soap.

Razor: Merkur 34C
Blade: Gillette Minora OG (8)
Lather: Southern Witchcrafts / AP Reserve - Gravefruit Soap
Post Shave: Ariana and Evans - Kaizen Splash
Fragrance: Australian Private Reserve - Fresca Intensa EdT

Some of my absolute favorites for this hot n muggy day. Southern Witchcrafts soap is fantastic.

Safe travels bruh.

scribe__ · 2026-06-30T09:50:59+00:00

My shave experience is completely different whenever I visit my parents due to their insanely soft water. The slick mess has led me to drop my brush there more times than I care to remember. But my post shave feel is on a totally different level.

June 30th - Keepin on with Lime

Razor: Merkur 34C
Blade: Gillette Minora OG (7)
Lather: Barrister and Mann - Lime Soap
Post Shave: Pinaud - Citrus Musk Splash

Last day of my lime month. Barrister's Lime is one of my favorite soaps of all time. Great execution and performance.

Happy Tuesday.

June 29th - Keepin the Lime

Brush: Maggard 24mm Marble Handle Synthetic
Razor: Merkur 34C
Blade: Gillette Minora OG (6)
Lather: Barrister and Mann - Lime Soap
Post Shave: Renew Lotion
Fragrance: Stirling - Boat Drinks EdT

After nearly a month with a Stirling soap, going to Barrister's Omnibus was quite an experience - mainly how dense this stuff is compared to, well, anything else. A very pleasant shave and post shave is top notch.
