  • Brush: Stirling 24mm Synthetic
  • Blade: BIC Metal (2)
  • Lather: Barrister & Mann/Zingari Man - Nocturne - Soap
  • Post Shave: Pinaud - Clubman - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Goodfellow & Co. - Face Lotion - Kelp & Sea Mineral

Nocturne is so good this time of year. This "older" vegan base is very easy to lather, but it loses slickness pretty quickly if you add too much water. It's pretty much ready to go with whatever water was in the brush during loading.

I love the scent of Nocturne in the Zing version. It has me curious about the new BaM release, which supposedly smells like Will intented.

Yeah, at the time I only heard that this zing version didn't smell right to people who had smelled the OG.

I'll probably pick one up in a couple years if it comes back again again.

I bought one in my quest to dezingify my den, and I'm curious about the difference.
