I'm very happy to see such great support for CGC. I still have some Susurro from the smush that you sent me. I'm looking forward to using it again during this Madness.
Razor: Geneva Cutlery Co. 11/16 Hollow Ground Round Point
Lather: House of Mammoth - Shire 2 - Soap
Toner: Thayers - Cucumber - Toner
Aftershave: House of Mammoth - Shire 2 - Splash
2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
I chose to support House of Mammoth in today's March Madness shave, and this was also a test shave; testing an edge that was created using Japanese slurry stones (nagura) on a Mottled Grey Vermont slate finishing stone. I found that creating an edge in this manner does feel like a Jnat edge when shaving.
Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Unscented - Aftershave
Osma: Osma - Osma
Bowl: Georgetown Pottery - G20
I think that may have been my fastest shave ever. I’m sick and want to go to bed but my face has that horrible prickly feeling that I just can’t stand. +1 for Fanzine. $ROCKtober

Congrats on the kill! Finishing a tub of Stirling is quite an accomplishment!

Another vote for CGC. Susurro is a great scent and Darkwing always brings the slickness.
Vetiver 46 seems great, I'm interested to see where the dry-down goes. At first I get a bunch of black pepper with a grassy/floral vibe underneath.
Thank fuck it's Friday!

Yeah, it’s been great to see. I’m hoping we can get CGC into the final but I’m not yet confident.
I saw that Vida restocked Susurro, in case you were thinking about picking some up. ;)

$discord Very nice shave. I did bite myself once, but at least it's in an inconspicuous spot.

Shire is a nice scent. I haven't tried Shire 2. Any big difference?
I don’t know. I missed Shire 1.
