Duodi 12 Fructidor an 233 de la Révolution, jour de Fenouil


I felt fancy today, so I treated myself to Mousse Illuminée – which is great.

Have a good evening!

  • Brush: Wolf Whiskers - "Gianmaria" w/Maggard 26mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Gold Dollar Straight Razor (9)
  • Lather: Wholly Kaw - Cuero Oscuro - Soap
  • Post Shave: Southern Witchcrafts - Incorporeal - Toner
  • Post Shave: Dove - Men+Care Ultra-Hydra - Cream
  • Fragrance: Fanzine Saponifications - Caravaggio - EdP

I haven't used this soap sample in a really long time. It's old and getting hard, but I was able to spread it around on the inside of a tub lid and load it no problem.

I enjoyed the lather, but I got some mild frag burn which took away from an otherwise enjoyable shave. Oh well!

  • Brush: RazoRock Beehive 28 mm
  • Razor: RazoRock Cyber Medium w/ Superknurl handle
  • Blade: Personna Super
  • Lather: Barrister & Mann - The Full Measure of Man
  • Post-Shave: OAM - oli del benessere - sensitive skin toner; moisturiser
  • Fragrance: Bentley for Men Intense EdP
  • Passes & Info: 2-pass head shave, a bit rushed but thankfully no irritation.

I actually did this shave way earlier, before my certificate ceremony w/ celebration - but I just now found the time to post.

This shave was great, even though I had to do it very fast. I didn't stretch my skin very much, just went with long strokes of the razor. Two passes were necessary this way, so I don't know if I actually saved that much time. I still showed up late (though not last) because the school had chosen a very remote location for the ceremony - had to walk through mud after finally finding a place to park my car and almost ruined my good leather shoes 🙄 More in the FTF thread.

FMoM seemed quite fitting to me: I like good tobacco scents and despite not owning it for long, it's one of my absolute favourites. The mild razor helped so I don't cut myself, as lots of photos were taken. My class - at least the biggest chunk of it - went to a greek restaurant with our teacher after everything was done. A nice day and a good shave beforehand, what more can I ask before the weekend?
