Shire has such a nice scent with good strength throughout. It has a thirsty base with a super slick result.

Have a good one!

It's it the OG or Shire 2?

[-] pi_dash_rho@wetshav.ing 2 points 2 months ago

Hmmm. It's a sample from Maggard's and about two months old, so I'd guess Shire 2?

October 23, 2025 -- Thé Noir Thursday

  • Brush: AP Shave Co Summer 28mm G5C
  • Razor: Thiers Issard Le Transatlantic 7/8" Full Hollow Round Point
  • Lather: Noble Otter - Thé Noir et Vanille - Soap
  • Toner: Thayers - Cucumber - Toner
  • Aftershave: Noble Otter - Thé Noir et Vanille - Aftershave
  • Fragrance: Noble Otter - Thé Noir et Vanille - Eau de Parfum

3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


Luxurious shave today. I didn’t need the third pass, but wanted to enjoy the lather and the shaving experience a little longer. The TNeV EdP is new to me and this was my first time using it. If you like TNeV, the EdP should be a consideration if you don't already have it.

I've been tempted by this many times 😄

As you can tell from the splash, the notes of TNeV don't dissipate immediately like the citrus notes of a summer scent can. This makes the EdP an all-day event. I fully enjoyed it. And, I got compliments on it ... from our dog.

  • Brush: Wolf Whiskers - "Gianmaria" w/Maggard 26mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Koraat 15/16 Full Hollow - Sub Exclusive 'Moarteen' (15)
  • Lather: Chatillon Lux - La For�t de Liguist - Soap
  • Post Shave: Aqua Velva - Ice Blue - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Nivea - Sensitive Beard & Face - Balm

It has been a couple of weeks since using a straight. It went decently well. I thought maybe I gave myself some irritation, and maybe it'll rear its head again later today, but for now things feel nice. I was also thinking the results wouldn't be very close, but it was one of those shaves that feels great after everything is dried down.
