Decent shave. The Shaving Data System is semi-broken right now. I updated it to a new version (2.1.0) and it sort of broke the SOTD page. I tried downgrading back to 2.0.1, but that didn't work.

Pretty good shave, but a little too close ATG on my neck. I think I was unintentionally rushing.

Fougere Angelique continues to be a great scent, and Heather fits with it nicely.

LatherBot shows mercy with a popular brand soap. I didn't have the flavor it picked though. No worries Haverford swoops in for a nice shave.

SOTD - 2026-02-21

• Prep: Hot Towel
• Brush: West Coast Shaving Synthetic
• Razor: RazoRock Game Changer .84 closed comb
• Blade: Astra SP green (2)
• Lather: Castle Forbes 1445 Shave Cream
• Alum: Stirling Travel Size Alum
• Toner: Stirling Unscented Witch Hazel & Aloe
• Serum: Ash Hopper Blueberry Serum
• Lotion: Humble Bee Botanicals "Calendulove" Face Cream
• Balm: Stirling Deton-8 Aftershave Balm
• Fragrance: Stirling Deton-8 EdT

1st pass WTG 2nd pass XTG. I was heavy handed with the XTG pass which lead to some light-duty irritation on the jawline. The Game Changer is nice but can only make up so much for my pressing too hard >.< Pretty close shave though.

This was my first time using Castle Forbes. I face lathered as suggested. Next time I need to use less product, but I think this stuff definitely works well! 1445 is a very clean and yet earthy/outdoorsy scent, it feels like something my grandma would have liked :)
