  • Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
  • Lather: Zingari Man - The Navigator
  • Post Shave: Zingari Man - The Navigator splash

First time using this set. The amber mixes surprisingly well with the aquatic notes and has this woodiness that all blends together well. Been trying not to look at what people use too much for MM. It’ll be fun to see how these next few rounds go. Happy Monday!

Thank you Walden for the smush of Raconteur today. It was my first time using APR and really makes me curious about their previous offerings. They seem to be well loved by most in the community.

Have some Seaforth! splash samples to use and figured I can use this soap to really see how it performs. Like most people who’ve tried it, the soap is really damn good for a vegan base.

That kills the SSL sample. I could probably get 3 uses per vial, but I’d rather use it than trying to stretch it far.
