Brush: Wolf Whiskers – "Gianmaria" w/Maggard 26mm Synthetic
Razor: Chiseled Face - Legacy Raw Titanium (#69)
Blade: Bolzano Superinox (Germany) (3)
Lather: House of Mammoth - Mood Indigo - Soap
Post Shave: Chatillon Lux - Delor de Treget - Aftershave
Post Shave: Goodfellow & Co. - Face Lotion - Kelp & Sea Mineral
Fragrance: Berceuce - Allegretto 7.2 – EdP

Nice lather. I don't know why, but it took me years to figure out that I shouldn't add too much water to Tusk. It excels in a thicker state. This soap is probably 3 years old. It was part of the initial batch under the HoM/Vida partnership. There were tons of complaints at the time about it being lightly scented, and future batches had more fragrance added.

Maybe all of the complaints were right, or maybe some soaps do lose scent over time. Either way, this one is very light.

Speaking of which, Allegretto 7.2 is pretty nice but not in my wheelhouse. It doesn't seem to last very long, either. Good if you don't want to be smelled except by people laying on top of you.

Brush: Rad Dinosaur Creations "Stardust" - TurnNShave Tuxedo 26mm synthetic
Razor: GEM - Micromatic Clog-Pruf
Blade: Personna - GEM PTFE (10)
Lather: Speahead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Sea Spice Lime
Post Shave: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Sea Spice Lime Aftershave splash
Post Shave: Stirling - Glacial Unscented Aftershave balm
Fragrance: Stirling - Deep Blue Sea EdT

An excellent shave with minimal irritation. I really love the scent and performance of SSL.

I'm still not sure about this knot. It definitely doesn't immediately impress me like the Quartermoon did. It's more difficult to splay, which I guess means it has more backbone? I did set it about as high as I could to hopefully minimize this.

Either way, the bristles are plenty soft. Feels much nicer than the Yaqi synthetic I was using previously.

Have a great Friday y'all!
