Shiriran Cold Front

  • Brush: Boti Sunrise
  • Razor: Koraat Sparschweinchen (7/8", "Sheffield-style" full hollow, carbon steel)
  • Lather: House of Mammoth Shire
  • Aftershave: House of Mammoth/Noble Otter/Declaration Grooming Cerberus Fougère
  • Fragrance: House of Mammoth/Noble Otter/Declaration Grooming Cerberus Fougère

Shire is a good choice for a gloomy winter day in spring. It also goes very well with a recent favourite of my wife's, Santal 33 (violets), so it tends to get me more compliments recently.

The added lively green of Cerb Fougère was nice.

  • Brush: AP Shave Co Strawberry Cream 26mm G5A

  • Razor: J.A. Henckels Friodur 472 13/16" Full Hollow Square Point

  • Lather: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Spiced - Soap

  • Toner: None

  • Aftershave: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Spiced - Aftershave

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


Final travel shave as it turns out. I need to head home one day early from my trip due to scheduling changes. I had hoped to spend some time in Cuyahoga National Park which I have not visited. I think I'll have to put that off for another day.

Spiced is a great travel fragrance. It wakes you up in the morning, but has enough depth to be interesting beyond that.

Spiced ++;

scheduling changes.

I hope it's nothing bad!

Nothing bad. We had to postpone a day of hiking in Cuyahoga National Park because my daughter is fighting off a head cold. Rest and fluids seemed like the more prudent choice. I want to get there during the spring, but there’s still ample opportunity.

Unfortunate!

Apr 22, 2024 - Mammoth Milksteak Monday

We recently had a cold snap, complete with snow. It’s still sunny outside, but just chilly. The combination of today’s scents worked very well for the sudden change in weather. If Confluence is the hiking day trip to the forest, then Hygge is the evening winddown by the fire with some drinks.

Rating: 5/5

  • Brush: Maggard 24mm 2 Band Badger
  • Razor: Blackland Era - Level 3 SB
  • Blade: Shaverboy (2)
  • Lather: WSP - Black Amber Vanille - Soap
  • Post Shave: Pinaud - Clubman Special Reserve - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Mood Indigo - Balm

Some great smells today. Black Amber Vanille was a gift from a friend - the Rustic soap base isn't my favorite, but today I got a decent lather and shave from it, so that's great! The scent though -- warm, resinous, rich... I love it. Clubman Special Reserve runs in the same vein.
