Bisonic Lavender Overload

  • Brush: Chisel and Hound Intrepid with 26 mm Zenith boar knot at 53 mm loft
  • Razor: C. V. Heljestrand MK NΒΊ 10 (6/8", square point, half hollow, carbon steel)
  • Lather: Chatillon Lux/Declaration Grooming Pure Lavender
  • Aftershave: Chatillon Lux Pure Lavender
  • Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company Seaforth! 3 Scots

I don't mind dickholing or trickholing scents in general, and I so quite often. But I realised today that I'm not a big fan of Pure Lavender in isolation. Usually, I combine Pure Lavender splash with Lavanille soap (or vice-versa) or with a completely different scent and I love it, but pure Pure Lavender is a bit sharp for me. Noted.

I shaved after coming home from a company Christmas Raclette night, so a sharp, strong lavender scent plus spicy 3 Scots was probably exactly the right thing before sneaking into the bedroom to my wife who hates the shell of cheese.
