    Sample part 1 of 3. I had a nice shave this morning with Riserva Fresco. I haven't decided how to describe the scent. It's pleasant and fresh.

    Yesterday's dog/lather bowl found it's final resting place and was replaced with a different pop-up bowl that the local Amazon Depot had in stock. It worked better. Next trip I'll bring an empty tub or get a small bowl.

    Have a wonderful Wednesday!

    • Brush: Omega - 10048 28mm Boar
    • Razor: Chiseled Face Titanium Legacy Razor
    • Blade: Personna Lab Blue (3)
    • Lather: Fanzine Saponifications - Bubblegum Rose - Soap
    • Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Barrister's Reserve Lavender - Aftershave
    • Post Shave: Stirling - Glacial Unscented - Balm
    • Fragrance: Barrister and Mann - Lavender, Interrupted - EdT

    Lavender, Interrupted is so good.

    • Yeah it is. My favorite frag. I have Lavanille also and they are similar, but Lavendrer, Interrupted is smoother and creamier.

      • Yeah, Lavanille leans much darker to my nose. I’m glad to have both of them.

        The Ubrique frag is something else as well. That Will guy knows what he’s doing!

    • Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
    • Lather: Chiseled Face x Zoologist - Panda - Soap
    • Post Shave: Catie's Bubbles - Top of the World - Aftershave

    u/JoboozeRum is a jerk for sending me Panda as it is an incredible scent. Thankfully, I can squeeze another shave out of the sample he sent. Thanks, I guess.

    • Brush: Wald Stratos Goldvein 29mm A1 Fan
    • Razor: Wacker Jungmeister 6/8 Half Hollow Round Point
    • Lather: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Black Watch - Soap
    • Toner: Thayers - Cucumber - Toner
    • Aftershave: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Black Watch - Aftershave
    • Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Black Watch - Eau de Toilette

    3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

    I haven't used Black Watch in a while. Still a wonderful scent. I doesn't get old for me. $Discord

    • Brush: Maggard Razors - Tuxedo 24mm Synthetic
    • Razor: Fatip Classic Testina Gentile - Chrome
    • Blade: V12 Super Platinum (5)
    • Lather: Zingari Man - Nocturne - Soap
    • Post Shave: Aqua Velva - Musk - Aftershave
    • Fragrance: Fanzine Saponifications - Caravaggio - EdP

    1 or 2 more shaves left in this tub, which is thrilling. I've been loading lots of soap to get a good lather, so I'm leaning towards only 1 more shave. Typically when I'm on the last shave of a tub it's sort of like when you're at the end of a container of ice cream -- you have to have a giant bowl at the end, else the next bowl is disappointing.

    • Brush: Zenith MOAR BOAR
    • Razor: GEM Open Comb Micromatic Gen. 2
    • Blade: GEM PTFE (2)
    • Lather: Soap Commander - Fortitude - Puck
    • Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Unscented - Aftershave
    • Osma: Osma - Osma
    • Scuttle: Georgetown Pottery - G20

    Soap Commander September continues to disappoint. I find it very hard to dial in this base and my face is paying for it. The scents are all pleasant, so that’s nice, although none of them really jump out at me.
