  • Brush: AP Shave Co Lemondrop 28mm SynBad

  • Razor: ERN 7/8 Full Hollow Round Point

  • Lather: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Sea Spice Lime - Soap

  • Toner: Thayers - Rose - Toner

  • Aftershave: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Sea Spice Lime - Aftershave

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


SSL is the perfect summer scent. Today's shave was another test shave. This razor had a bunch of issues, and I was convinced that the shave would be lousy. Nope! Terrific shave from this razor. The video I made while working on the razor is quite long and will take me a while to cut down to size. I'll update this comment when that's done.

Here is the video.

Happy 4th to those of you who are Americans!

This razor had a bunch of issues,

I'm curious! Looking forward to that video

SSL was such a stunner when it first came out, but Shawn has managed to make each Seaforth! scent unique and world-class.

Video Link.

I didn't feel very inspired today, so I went for safe choices.

Have a good night!

  • Brush: Maggard 24mm Tuxedo Synthetic
  • Razor: Chiseled Face - Legacy Raw Titanium (#69)
  • Blade: Polsilver Super Iridium (2)
  • Lather: Barrister & Mann - Lyssa - Soap
  • Post Shave: Southern Witchcrafts - Roman Spice - Aftershave

Southern Witchcrafts Roman Spice?! Yes, well... I had unscented aftershave from SW from when I did AA using unscented stuff, and I had a sample of Roman Spice from Dennis, so I figured I see if it'd work.

It did work, and it's pretty great. The scent strength is just about perfect.

a sample of Roman Spice from Dennis

Was it a frag sample or splash?

[โ€“] walden 3 points 4 months ago

Frag. It was really strong, and just a tiny vial with a dipper, no atomizer. I sort of wonder if it was higher than EdP strength. Straight frag oil, even.

Dennis sold a small amount on discord for $5 to cover shipping.

I actually didn't like the scent out of the vial, but I love it diluted in some aftershave.

Noble Otter did it again. I love how they do tea scents! This set also arrived during LG and had to wait until now to get tried.

The upcoming $FriodomRiders challenge has me excited so I went with my big Frio today. Great shave.
