First time using the boar brush in a while! I prefer my various synthetics andy badger but variety is the spice of life.
Saguaro smells really great but I do have a very slight sensitivity to something in it. After a while I start to feel a little irritation just around my lips. Luckily it's barely noticeable and no redness or lasting irritation.
Pete Hegseth definitely would not have approved of my previous grooming.
This time, I shaved off 6 days of beard. The combination of Absinthe and Opuntia works surprisingly well.
Brush: Wolf Whiskers - "Gianmaria" w/Maggard 26mm Synthetic
Razor: GEM Pushbutton
Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (1)
Lather: Southern Witchcrafts - Tres Matres - Soap
Post Shave: Southern Witchcrafts - Tres Matres - Toner
Fragrance: Barrister and Mann - Lavanille - EdP
What a great shave. The Pushbutton treated me very well, and Tres Matres smells great. Lavanille was just an impulse but I think it compliments Tres Matres in a way. They're both sort of funky, strange, and interesting.
Lotion: Humble Bee Botanicals Calendulove Face Cream
Fragrance: Stirling Deton-8 EdT
1st pass WTG, 2nd pass XTG, touch up on chin XTG. CCS. This was one of my faster shaves ever - the Deton-8 smells so good but.. I do think there is something about it that my face doesn't like. So I can't be letting it sit around on my skin.

Shared via emacs & sotd.elThe VP gets a pass, obviously.
The priviledge of rank.
