Mango Festival

  • Brush: Shore Shave Honey Jar 26mm Plisson Synthentic Knot
  • Razor: Wolfman Razors Satin WR1 Dual Comb Head (0.74 mm gap) on Hollow WRH1 Handle (on loan)
  • Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Super Stainless (Green) [1]
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Glacial Mango Sunrise - Soap
  • Post Shave: Zingari Man - The Brewer - Aftershave (Alcohol Free)
  • Fragrance: House of Mammoth - Voices - Eau de Parfum

This was my first time using a glacial soap, and it was no joke. Mango Sunrise subverted my expectations for a sweet, simple scent along the lines of some of Stirling's other fruity scent offerings. The mango is bold and upfront, but the musk tampers the sweetness and adds some really pleasant complexity that came as a surprise.

Brewer was a perfect follow-up, hyping up the shave with mango and papaya scent notes. Then the tangy and hoppy finish provided a refreshing change.

Voices is just a beautiful mango-fronted scent.
