The Blues

  • Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts Papa Eld with Declaration Grooming B3 knot
  • Razor: EldrormR Industries - GEM Division: MM24
  • Blade: Personna GEM PTFE
  • Lather: Barrister and Mann 42
  • Aftershave: Southern Witchcrafts / Shawn Maher Gravefruit 2
  • Fragrance: Chatillon Lux Yuzu/Rose/Patchouli

Congrats to Barrister and Mann for yesterday's victory. It's not official yet, but I commissioned u/robodjudge to tally the shaves and it found 50 B&M vs 45 Southern Witchcrafts uses (excluding luxury shaves of multi shavers). It's an entirely deserved victory, but I was really hoping for an upset this time around, and at times it seemed possible. There were even times when SW was leading!

42 and Gravefruit 2 work really well together and I had a great shave with Soft hearts and the MM24. I'll add a second spritz of YRP before leaving for the office.

I really like the idea of those scent combinations. I may have to try it soon.

Let me know what you think when you do!

It's really good IMO
