Razor: Timeless 95
Brush: Semogue 610 Boar
Soap: Grooming Dept - Incense & Oud
Aftershave: Thayers Rose Witch hazel
Blade: Wizamet
Well, I won’t drag up old soap stories, but I decided to give Grooming Dept another go since I’m somehow back to dabbing in trendy artisan soaps again.
Grooming Dept can now be purchased through several reputable vendors and it’s also showing up cheap on the BST forums these days. So anyways, this was my re-entry to the brand.
This is the Fortis formula. It’s the least expensive offering. Scent off the puck was not that great... all I could think of was a hair salon product/chemical. Luckily after lathering it up the incense and oud came through very nicely.
Performance was elite-level just as I remembered it from a few years ago. After the shave each of my 3 family members (at different times) commented on how good I smelled... a rare occurrence!
The shave was a darn close and an exceptionally good one. BBS as the cool kids say. The Timeless 95 and little boar are always a blast to use. The Thayers is my go-to easy and comforting splash. The Grooming Dept scent had no trouble muting the Thayers out well after the shave was over. Post shave feel is making me happy right now.
