Post your shave of the day for Wednesday!
- Prep: Hot Shower - Preshave
- Brush: Semogue 610
- Razor: EldormR Industries MM24
- Blade: GEM - PTFE (8)
- Lather: Wholly Kaw - Amber Bomba Soap
- Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Bay Rum Splash
- Post Shave: Zingari Man - AS Balm Unscented
With LG on the horizon, I figured this would be a good week to use some samples, both old and new. Amber Bomba seems to be a hit around these parts so I figured I would grab a sample while making some LG acquisitions. Daaaaaammmmnnn, this scent is just spicy and delicious. This is also the kind of scent that could be a daily driver in the fall and winter for me (if my den didn’t have so many other tubs distracting me on a daily basis). The Bay Rum paired very nicely with it so I have lovely scents in my nostrils right now.
Another day of meetings awaits. Time to pour coffee and skeedaddle. Have a great day all!

- Razor: Gillette Old Type
- Blade: Personna Platinum Chrome (1)
- Lather: Zingari Man - Bon Monsieur
- Preshave: Baxter Shave Tonic
- Post Shave: Old Spice – Classic
I was going to write a bit about how I realized I actually hadn’t used US Old Spice in years after being in CVS and buying a bottle because it was on sale but… that’s pretty much the entire story. Still smells different (not bad) and still leaves my face feeling a bit dryer.
However, I almost didn’t splash any Old Spice on at all because the scent of Bon Monsieur, which I picked up as a sample at Maggards Meetup is so damn stellar. I really, really like this one despite not being the biggest fan of most fougeres. I’m not sure why this one works so well for me but I pick up the fir in it and that always wins me over so maybe that’s it. Just stellar.
First time using the Sego base as well and it lathered well, though I’m regretting using my MOAR Boar on it since it ate up like 1/4 of the sample and now i have less of a scent I really like.
