A lovely end to the day. We made it to Friday, and I’m looking forward to a relaxing weekend. The Rhapsody soap and balm are a winning combination, and the Stirling Gentleman EdT pairs really well with the scent.

• Frag: Chiseled Face - Midnight Stag EdP

I don’t have any soaps with stout as an ingredient, but this shave was full of vanilla, oak, smoke, and darkness. I think it fits the bill.

I love the scent of Lavanille. Dark, mysterious, and rich. It’s one that I might get a full set of when the sample is out.

That’d be awesome. Let me know if you have any issues getting set up!

I’m glad I took today off to recover from the election chaos. The sun rose as always and I was able to take my time with this luxurious (™️) shave. It left me feeling super refreshed.

I love the scent of Arkadia, one of my favorite Stirling dupes.

Have a great day y’all!

Sweet, message sent :)

• Frag: Mäurer & Wirtz - Tabac EdC

Tonight I felt like combining some comforting barbershop-esque scents. (Does Tabac count as a barbershop scent?) It was a long night – some comfort felt appropriate.

My wife and I spent the evening with friends watching the election results trickle in, and to say we were disappointed is an understatement. Gutted is more like it.

Life will go on, but I’m concerned about the direction it seems we’ll now be pointing.

Do good for those around you, that’s the most important thing.

I love the color scheme here!

Yes, I’d love to try Texas on Fire! It’s one I’ve had my eye on for a bit.

Want to send me your address on Matrix?

Let me know if you’d like a smush of Pine Tar, I’d be happy to send one along.

I had a very rushed shave in between meetings this morning.

Pine Tar always feels great on my skin, which was welcome after the irritation I experienced last night.

Have a good day y’all, and try to stay positive. Elections always cause so much anxiety, but the world will go on.

Ah, yes I see it now. Thanks. It wasn’t showing up in my mobile client.

Yeah definitely. @walden@wetshaving.social do you have matrix set up?

Early meetings----

• Post: Ginger’s Garden - Unscented AS balm + menthol
• Frag: Stirling - Oro Valley EdT

Such a great scent, I’m happy to now have this trifecta in my rotation.

I had a bit of burn during my first pass that went away for the second and third. I’m hoping my skin was just feeling sensitive and that it isn’t suddenly frag burn with this scent.

I also wonder whether this brush might be irritating my skin. I seem to remember I also had a bit of burning the last time I used it.

Luxurious (™️)
