March Madness Day 2

  • Brush: Dogclaration LG 2022 Mystery Brush (B16)
  • Razor: Böker Abalone
  • Lather: Spearhead Shaving Company Seaforth! — Black Watch
  • Aftershave: Southern Witchcrafts — Pomona
  • Fragrance: House of Mammoth/Noble Otter/Declaration Grooming — Cerberus

OK, I really overestimated the underdog effect in yesterday's match-up and I'm probably a bit too surprised by how clearly BaM won over CGC. I'm curious to see what other upsets await us this month. March Madness has easily the best suspense/effort ratio (for the participants) of all r/wetshaving events 😊

For today's shave I went with a combo of scents that are sweet and have fruit notes, without feeling sweet or fruity, and it's a combination I need to repeat.

The pointy Böker continues to feel fantastic.

Mar 2, 2024 - Rose of Phrygia

The combination that stood out to me of rose, honey, jasmine, grapefruit, and vetiver made the whole shave very enjoyable. Rose of Phrygia is an amazing rose and vetiver scent, and when it's gone, it's gone...

Rating: 4/5

  • Brush: Zenith B15 (506 U/L) 27.5mm Boar
  • Razor: EldrormR Industries MM24
  • Blade: Personna Gem PTFE (5)
  • Lather: 345 Soaps - Undercut - Soap

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


Well, it is the first day of the Formula 1 season so I must bring on the Undercut. In addition to liking the F1-inspired name for the soap, I like the soap and its scent as well.

Have a great weekend!
