Dirtyver ++, Verbena ++

Didn’t get a chance to shave the last two days of March Madness. So I shaved as early as I could today to help Stirling make it another round.
This brush is really, really hard to deal with. Have not figured it out yet.
Day 10 of the TSF Domination era. The other soap groups are scared of TSF! They're hoping and wishing that TSF would get eliminated because they know TSF is what THE PEOPLE want! Well you can't beat THE PEOPLE!

A great scent to start the day with. Let's go Stirling!

There is one more shave left in Ishtar – but I definitely will finish it with a synthetic brush.
Have a good night!
MARCH MADNESS 2025 DAY 19
First time using X. As soon as I lathered it up, I could smell the Haitian Vetiver. Apparently C Bubs is a Vetiver fiend?
Wonderful early morning shave with Black Watch today. My vote is for Spearhead again.

Wallflower is a new scent to me from TSF that I picked up during their recent sale. It has a light, very pleasant aroma, somewhat reminiscent of Lonestar.
I also used the new brush sent to me by u/Priusaurus and it's absolutely gorgeous.
