Day 5 of the TSF domination era of March Madness. In round 4 TSF had the #1 spot unlawfully STOLEN from us by Meanie Mammoth, but they can't stop us. They'll try, oh they'll try to stop us but they can't. Like a 4chan raid of Area 51 there's too many people that want TSF to win, and they CANT STOP US ALL!!!! MudAccording was RIGHT! The so called "Mammoth mafia" has ties to organized crime, and once TSF wins we're gonna come after every last one of them. Hear us Meanie Mammoths, we're gonna come! #TOOBIGTORIG
Brush: Chisel and Hound – Flame On with v26 Fanchurian
Razor: C. V. Heljestrand MK Nº 31 (square point, full hollow, 5/8", carbon steel)
Lather: Summer Break Soaps – Valedictorian
Post Shave: Macduffs Soap Company – Trail Tobacco
Fragrance: House of Mammoth – Shire 2
I'm throwing my support behind Summer Break Soaps today. Valedictorian and Teacher's Pet are among my favourite scents in wetshaving, the base is super easy to work with, and Rocket is an active member of this community.
Lovely shave with an outdoorsy tobacco theme. I smell ready for adventure.
Post Shave: Stirling - Deep Blue Sea Aftershave splash (+ menthol)
Fragrance: Chiseled Face - Summer Storm EdP
Another vote for Stirling. Deep Blue Sea is a great scent to start a sunny morning, and the Omega brush always whips up an excellent lather with this base.
Aftershave: Chicago Grooming - AG 1889 - Aftershave
Fragrance: Guerlain - Jicky - Eau de Toilette
Talc: Yardley Classic
2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Wonderful Sunday shave this morning. 1889 has the perfect scent to usher in a great early spring day here in Maryland. The Escher edge on this razor continues to perform well, but it represents my first use of the stone. I'm sure that stone has more to give.

This is the exact setup that I used a year ago today for March Madness 2024.

MK N° 31++; // There’s a MK N° 32 :)
Valedictorian++;
There's also a 14 😉
Bloody difficult to find, though ;-) The N⁰ 32 is a 6/8 and I definitely want that in my collection.
I found one!
Need honing, and I haven't had the time yet, though.
That is an awesome piece! Well done!
Thanks!

MARCH MADNESS 2025 DAY 9
Ti Legacy is great and so is Darkwing. That’s all I got for today.
Are you going to keep both Legacies, or do you prefer one over the other?
Today was my first use with the Ti. I'll keep both of them for now. They shaved very similarly. Aesthetically, the Ti is way better looking.

I've been supporting an underdog until today, but I just wanted to use something different. Sorry, CFG, I hope you fair well without me today!
These two leather scents are great together.
