- Brush: SBS Ord w/ TnS Quartermoon
- Razor: Chiseled Face Legacy Brass
- Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
- Lather: Catie’s Bubbles - Reflection
- Post Shave: Catie’s Bubbles - Reflection splash
Reflection somehow reminds me of camping with my family as a really young lad. It kind of puts me in a somber mood, but its a lovely scent.

I'm bummed Stirling didn't make the cut yesterday, but someone had to go.
Froggr is a nice anisic scent that I really enjoy, though it gave my skin a bit of a tingle. It wasn't unbearable, but it was noticable. Maybe I'm also sensitive to anise oil? I hope not, because I love the scent of anise.
Have a great Saturday y'all.

I’m bummed about Stirling too. A product line of such good quality and so vast and that has been around for a long time is somehow easy to overlook.

3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
This was a test shave of my first edge from my new La Petite Blanche coticule. Since this is a vintage razor that I just purchased and have not used with other edges of mine, it was not really a fair test of a new stone. Nonetheless, I had a very close and comfortable shave. I look forward to evaluating this stone on razors that I am already familiar with.
Bon Temps Barbershop has a subtle and very pleasant barbershop scent in a soap base that is tailored for straight razor shavers. It performs brilliantly.

Looks like TSF lives to fight another day and that Stirling is out. Maybe a late shaver will save it at the expense of HoM before the official tally?

I had a very nice early morning shave with Cognac and Cuban Cigars, such a pleasant, easy scent. Now I'm sitting in the train to the alps to spend a couple snow days with Djunior before warm spring weather brings grass and cows where there are sleds and kids now.
Tobacconist ++;

My favorite HoM scent for cold weather. Cognac and Cuban cigars is a real-life dream for me. Cuban cigars are banned for sale in the US. There’s a black market here, but I don’t know how to reach it. I manage to make-do with Cognac (or Armagnac) and non-Cuban cigars, though :)
I had a brief phase where I smoked Cuban cigars, but stopped about 20 years ago. Tobacconist still smells glorious to me :)
Did you get a few Cuban cigars in the brief window when sanctions got lessened during Obama?
