Pencil Pusher

  • Brush: Chisel & Hound The Diplomat 26mm v19 Fanchurian Badger Knot
  • Razor: Blutt Rasur BR-1 0.99
  • Blade: Gillette Nacet [6]
  • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Pencil Pushers - Soap (Vegan) (Vegan Omnibus)
  • Post Shave: Summer Break Soaps - Woodshop - Aftershave
  • Fragrance: Summer Break Soaps - Woodshop - Eau de Parfum

The scent notes for Pencil Pusher are listed as "cedar, just cedar, and only cedar." That said, it doesn't smell like an old cedar chest, and it comes really close to smelling like No.2 pencils.

This is also my first time trying the new Veggiebus base. The lather seemed to perform similarly to it's tallow sibling.
