Sunday, November 10, 2024: FLS - A Roamful Sunday Morning

  • Brush: Yaqi - Mysterious Space 24mm 2-band Badger
  • Razor: Rockwell - 6C
  • Blade: Bolazano - Superinox (1)
  • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Roam Two
  • Post: Barrister and Mann - Roam Two Aftershave splash
  • Post: Ginger's Garden - Unscented AS balm (+ menthol)
  • Frag: Barrister and Mann - Roam Two EdT

Whenever I use Roam Two, I think it might be my favorite set. The progression from soap -> splash -> frag truly is a journey from sweet grass and juniper berries to earth, tobacco, and leather. It's just lovely all around.

I still have over 50% left of the splash and frag, but I'm already thinking about hunting down some backups.

My shave with the Superinox blade went really well, with no irritation and a super smooth result. Overall just a great start to my Sunday!

Also, I'll plug P2's review of Roam Two from over on w_e for any who haven't read it -- it really should be required reading. :)

I'm impressed that the splash/frag levels are already approaching 50% considering Roam Two hasn't been out for very long.

I picked them up secondhand, so they weren't full when I started.

I have used them quite a bit since I got used to the scent though.
