  • Brush: Stirling Soap Co. 24mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Gillette Atra - Handle
  • Blade: Personna Twin Pivot Plus (Atra) Cart (8)
  • Lather: House of Mammoth - Mood Indigo - Soap
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Santa Noir - Aftershave

No tub kill today, but tomorrow for sure. Mood Indigo is a superb scent, and got even better once it was discontinued!

  • Brush: Wald Nimbus Chryselephantine 29mm A1 Fan
  • Razor: Ralf Aust 5/8 Stainless Full Hollow Spanish Point
  • Lather: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Leather - Soap
  • Toner: Thayers - Cucumber - Toner
  • Aftershave: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Leather - Aftershave

3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


Like all of the other Seaforth! scents this one is a winner and the Highland base is excellent for creating the kind of slick lather I like for a straight razor shave. At the rate I use Spearhead soaps I have a lot of time before I go through mine, but it is sad that these will be leaving the market.

Sample scoop 1 of 3. Next time I use this, I'll restrict water. It was a little foamy but went on slick. I wasn't able to get any sheen but plenty of peaks. Unfortunately, the soap dissipated as I was shaving. I'm taking the blame on this. I'll do better next time.

Have a good day!

Captains Choice Bay Rum scent is my favorite, but the lather is old school. Light and foamy. You can make it work but it has its limitations.

  • Brush: Summer Break Soaps "Elyria" - TurnNShave v9 Tip 28mm Badger
  • Razor: J. Koester's Sons 11/16", full hollow, square point (11)
  • Lather: Catie's Bubbles - 322 - Soap
  • Post Shave: Saponificio Varesino - Cubebe - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Stirling - Glacial Unscented - Balm
  • Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Heather - EdT

Probably another two shaves in this smush. 322 is a nice scent, but I'm not sure I'd use a full tub.

Almost Friday!

I blindly bought a 322 tub recently. It's different than I imagined, but I still enjoy it. It's funky and I like that.

[-] snooting@wetshav.ing 3 points 4 days ago

Yeah it's a really nice scent, I just can't see myself reaching for it regularly.

I'm trying to be more discerning about what I pick up, with varying degrees of success.
