You Talcin' To Me?

  • Brush: Zenith 506U N (50/50 horse mane/tail)
  • Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur 72-V (13/16", quarter hollow or near wedge, stainless steel)
  • Lather: Noble Otter Rawr
  • Aftershave: Declaration Grooming Bangarang
  • Fragrance: Sir Irisch Moos
  • Talc: Pinaud Clubman Finest Powder

Bangarang and Rawr have a similar inspiration: a feeling of nostalgia for a carefree childhood. This manifests quite differently in the two scents though, with clean, fresh, vernal rawr and sweet, slightly dirty Bangarang. I used to think that the two fragrances don't pair well together, but when I sniffed them together a few days ago, setting up some SOTD combos, I realised that I've changed my mind. The Moos recalls a similar green and a bit floral theme from Rawr. This is a good combo that I've had lying around my den for a long time, but never tried.

In related news, the #Talcening continues, this time without need for the bomb squad. Only small powder puffs escaped and I didn't end up looking like Marie Antoinette. #progress
