January 10, 2025 -- Floris Friday

  • Brush: Elite Razor Honduran Rosewood Burl 24mm HMW Fan

  • Razor: Wade & Butcher Celebrated 13/16 Near Wedge

  • Lather: Floris London - No. 89 - Soap

  • Aftershave: Floris London - No. 89 - Aftershave

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


Quick shave. This was my first use of No. 89 as a soap and aftershave. I like the scent a lot. The soap quality is okay but workable. It comes in a wooden bowl and I admit that I like that. I've tried the fragrance and the aftershave is just like it.

It comes in a wooden bowl and I admit that I like that.

I have one from Cap'n Fawcett, and I also like the look, but the soap dries the wood and it quickly turns dull and rough. So now I find myself oiling a wooden soap tub with linseed oil every once in a while reconsidering my life choices😅

It's that the "Fine India Steel" or do you have two?

I have two. Here's the one I used for this shave.

It's also near the top of my list for a future Stirling order.

Fougère Friday 10 Jan 2025

  • Brush: Simpson Chubby 2 Manchurian
  • Razor: Böker – Abalone (6/8", full hollow, carbon steel, French point)
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co – Varen
  • Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co – Varen
  • Fragrance: Stirling Soap Co – Varen

A stanky and awesome Fougère Friday shave with the Varen. Everything about this shave was on point: The love-it-or-hate-it scent of Varen, the fantastic Stirling sheep , the cushy Simpson (which politely decided to lose only 1 hair this time around) and the gorgeous, smooth and sharp Böker with the extra-ridiculously pointy point that I love.
