  • Brush: Wolf Whiskers - "Gianmaria" w/26mm Super Plush Synthetic
  • Razor: Chiseled Face - Legacy Raw Titanium (#69)
  • Blade: Wilkinson Sword Classic (2)
  • Lather: Meissner Tremonia - Woody Almond - Soap
  • Post Shave: Chicago Grooming Co. - Frankie & Myrna - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: allMan - Refined - Balm
  • Fragrance: Barrister & Mann - Lavender, Interrupted - EdP

Meissner Tremonia is such a strange soap. It loads super poofy, but adding water settles it down and it's really excellent after that. Woody Almond is the perfect description for this. It's not like a sweet almond like Stirling Almond Creme or Cella (I imagine, although I've never smelled it). Instead it's a dry almond. Like smelling a bag of roasted almonds.
