Sweet, Smoky, Smooth

  • Brush: Zenith 506U N (50/50 horse mane/tail)
  • Razor: Dovo Bismarck 2 (7/8โ€ณ, full hollow, carbon steel)
  • Lather: Declaration Grooming Massacre of the Innocents
  • Aftershave: Declaration Grooming Massacre of the Innocents
  • Fragrance: Maison Margiela โ€“ REPLICA By The Fireplace

One more new delicious combo: Sweet, warm MOTI and bonfire-in-a-bottle BtF.

The MOTI splash is in a little marmalade jar because I dropped the splash bottle a couple years ago and it broke in a way that about a third of the content was salvageable. The rest had made my bathroom smell delicious for a couple days.

It feels good to use the horsey again. Very different feeling than badger, boar, or bogus: the tips are clipped, so they aren't soft like the others, but horse hair has less bending stiffness, so the fibres can't really poke the skin.
