Shave of the Day: Saturday August 31, 2019

Razor: Karve C Plate

Blade: Voskhod (1st use)

Brush: Sawdust Creations “Caramel Latte”

Soap: Storybrook Soapworks Chasing Sunsets (2019 SoCal Meetup)

Aftershave Balm: The Art of Shaving Unscented

Fragrance: Creed Aventus (sample)

This is my first go with Storybrook and was in for a treat. The sheen and dense lather consistency is reminiscent of that of A&E or Declaration Grooming and then I knew I was in store for something good. This particular scent was made for the 2019 Southern California meetup and is initially weak off the puck but once lathered the citrus comes out (with aquatic notes that are not as prominent). Anyone who likes bright or citrus scents this definitely could be one to look into acquiring.

I’ll add Storybrook to the list of underrated soap makers of 2019.
