Saturday, July 6, 2024: Shit Stag
- Brush: Muninn Woodworks Gloire de France with Zenith 505BC Boar 🐗
- Razor: River Razors Kamisori
- Lather: Chiseled Face Midnight Stag
- Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel
- Postshave: Chiseled Face Midnight Stag Aftershave
- Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm
It's hard to overstate just how shit the tallow-based Midnight Stag soap is. I took thrice as much as I would with a normal soap, and still got a foamy, airy "lather". It is slick, though. If it weren't such a meme scent...
Have a good day!
I think the soap is fine but certainly not top-tier. After using Midnight Stag for my first AA, I realized it is not really a great summer (northern hemisphere) scent for me.
I love the CFG base. 🤷♂️
They seem to have 2 bases, and you can get the stag in both (just avoid the tallow base)
Ohhhh, the silk tallow base? I've killed a tub of that stuff. I liked that base, too! Definitely a little tricky, though.
Maybe with a synthetic? What was your trick?
I do tend to use synthetic brushes a lot.
With that base I remember the proto-lather never really got any "bigger" while lathering, so I tub loaded what looked like it was going to be enough soap for the whole shave, then just added water to weigh it down a bit. That's pretty much it.
Thanks, I'll try this!
