I'm using my aquatic scented soaps for the first part of this month (I don't have 30 aquatics). I originally intended to use either The Navigator or The Watchman today so I could participate in Zingari Zischtig for the first time in a long while. While I used to have samples of both, alas, when I checked, I found that I have used them up. C'est La Vie.
Aftershave: Ariana & Evans - Nero e Rosso - Aftershave
2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
This was my first use of Nero e Rosso (black and red). This is a very dark, leathery, woodsy, tobaccoy scent with surprise notes of strawberry and osmanthus. This is certainly not for everyone, but it is perfect for me.
Brush: Wolf Whiskers - "Gianmaria" w/Maggard 26mm Synthetic
Razor: Puma 76 - Solingen - 13/16 Half Hollow (2)
Lather: The Cajun Blade - Bourbon Cowboy - Soap
Post Shave: Chatillon Lux - Sni Mato - Aftershave
Post Shave: Zingari Man - The Stargazer - Aftershave Serum
Another very nice shave from this razor. I gave myself some weepers, so I'll try with a different soap tomorrow. I'd rather blame the lather than the razor or my technique, but we all know what the real answer is!
Brush: Grizzly Bay - AP Shave Co. MiG 26mm Synthetic
Razor: Gillette Ball-End Tech
Blade: Filoso Platinum (1)
Lather: Moon Soaps - Koa Mahina - Soap
Post Shave: Moon Soaps - Koa Mahina - Aftershave
Post Shave: Oleo & Co. - Facial Toner - Toner
Fragrance: Chicago Grooming Co. - Caoba - EdP
Koa Mahina is such a smooth scent, and it pairs well with Caoba. Very nice shave this morning.
I don't know where I got this tuck of Filoso blades from. This morning I decided to give them a try. After the first pass I was pretty unimpressed, but ended up with decent results in the end. Definitely not a top performer, but pretty decent.
After yesterday's snipes I'm giving up on mathing my score, it's in the portal.
Primidi 21 Prairial an 234 de la Révolution, jour de Barbeau: Zingari Zischtig
Confortable shave, but not very close.
Have a good day!

There may be a way to correct this sad state of affairs...
There is, of course, but I'll be through my list of aquatic scents pretty soon, and I have some great Zingari Zischtig candidates after that!

It's never technique. We all have perfect lathering and shaving technique.
Truer words are rarely spoken.
