  • Brush: Farvour Turn Crafts w/ C&H v12 Fanchurian
  • Razor: Ralf Aust 6/8, Full Hollow Spanish Point
  • Lather: House of Mammoth - Fú Dào
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Fú Dào Aftershave Splash
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Z Aftershave Balm

Fú Dào was the first HoM set I tried. The scent, as is the case with every scent, is not what I imagined. But it immediately had my attention. The scent was unique to anything I'd tried before and the Tusk base was just phenomenal. Tusk has become my favorite base, it's just so agreeable with me, and Bens perfumery is just something that completely stands out as his own.

This Ralf Aust is a wondeful shaver. Light and smooth as butter. It gave me a close and comfortable shave, free of any nicks or irritation.

Tusk is really up there for me, too. I like how flexible it is, and the kind of creaminess and slickness it provides is just what I like.

Agreed! Top tier base.
