Shave of the Day: Friday November 27, 2020



Razor: Timeless .95 (Stainless Steel)
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (1st use)
Brush: Frank Shaving Badger 
Soap: Barrister & Mann Promises 
Aftershave: Barrister & Mann Promises 
Days of Growth: 2

I intentionally waited until the winter months to break out my Promises set. The notes consist of bergamot, orange, whiskey, peat, honey, peat and nutmeg. The initial whiff off the puck is reminiscent of black licorice or an old fashioned Christmas candy that your grandmother would gift rather than anything too sweet, artificial, dark or earthy typically associated with winter seasonal scents.

Shave of the Day: Sunday November 15, 2020



Razor: Standard Razor 
Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Yellow (3rd use)
Brush: Everything Shaving Group Brush from Craving Shaving 
Cream: The Art of Shaving Sandalwood 
Aftershave Balm: The Art of Shaving Sandalwood 

One of the best Sandalwood scents available. Don’t shit on AOS because of commercial availability or because they are not artisan, the formulation of the cream is top tier. The 7 O’Clock Yellow blades seem to have a lifespan of about three uses, each shave being pretty smooth.
