It's not a big surprise that Macduffs got the boot yesterday, but it's more decisive than I'd expected. I'm glad I got to throw them a vote before they dropped out, because I really enjoy their base.

I haven't used the Moos in too long. Such a nice scent. And the MM24 did a great job as always.

What's that brush? 👀👀
- It's a ~~REDACTED~~!
Love the brush! I have one brush with a Motherlode knot in it but nothing like that one. Great setup that you, and others, have coordinated today!
- Yeah, the brush is a wonderful silly indulgence :)

I used to think enough was enough.

I was wrong.

Then I thought MOAR was enough.

But we all know more is never enough.

But will ~~REDACTED~~ be enough?

Will I be free?

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

As someone who normally shaves with a straight razor, it's fun to use these new fangled gadgets once in a while. I enjoy BDLM3 a lot. Don't know why I don't use it more often.

First shave with the Wallflower soap. I like this scent, and the base performs pretty well.

🍳 Created with Neovim & sotd.nvim 🍳

Same gear and recording two shaves here because I couldn't be arsed during the week

Soft heart sandalwood. Proof that a single note can resonate more powerfully than a chord. And possibly my favourite base. Not tons left so it's a good option for the next tub kill. I may keep a sample if I do go for the kill.
Gothic revival.

Second soap from Wickham a limited edition dupe of eucris I think. Good shave and a nice posh barbershop scent to my mind.
