What soap/cream did you use today?

Barrister’s Reserve Fern (Barrister & Mann) bright fougère
Shave 12 ・ 99 g left

This Reserve base starts out thick and pasty. (I’m probably overloading it by about fifty swirls.) But given enough water it goes really slick. Even a sticky razor like the aluminum Henson glides pretty easily over the skin. Reserve didn’t stay as thick and creamy as Excelsior or Omnibus, but there was plenty of protection for an effortless shave on this fougère Friday.

Love that brush!  Is that a cashmere or boar knot?

Hoosier, it is an omega boar set rather low. Love the handle maker, an etsy fellow. Tournuredebois Roxton Pond, Canada.

I think i have 4 of his brushes now, but put elite Razor knots in them.

So . . . how was The Artifact ?

Pareidolia.  Weird name.  Awesome scent

Fendrihan "Charcoal" cream.



The scent is not nearly as nice as I used to think when I first bought it, but it's still a pretty good performing cream (feels similar to TOBS).
Plus it still looks like J-B Weld "Liquid Aluminum" epoxy. 

So here's my plan: use two or three times as much as is necessary, just to get rid of it faster. 
That way, what it lacks in scent is made up for by the luxury of lots of lather prøn.
I've got maybe half of what's in the photo remaining.

I see . . . two hungry baby birds wearing boxing gloves and spectator shoes.

Caswell-Massey - Regents (soap by The Holy Black)

I don't know why my skin feels so good afterwards, but it does... It really shouldn't, looking at the ingredients. Always very well put-together scents too. Nice to see a traditional brand working with a modern one.

Regents is rosemary forward, supported by clean citruses. Mediterranean and works well with the season, as rosemary has a lot of overlap with conifers.











Hoping to go skiing Saturday. That is the plan.
