Sun 09 Mar 2025: Day 5 of March Madness

  • Brush: Chisel and Hound – Flame On with v26 Fanchurian
  • Razor: C. V. Heljestrand MK NΒΊ 31 (square point, full hollow, 5/8", carbon steel)
  • Lather: Summer Break Soaps – Valedictorian
  • Post Shave: Macduffs Soap Company – Trail Tobacco
  • Fragrance: House of Mammoth – Shire 2

I'm throwing my support behind Summer Break Soaps today. Valedictorian and Teacher's Pet are among my favourite scents in wetshaving, the base is super easy to work with, and Rocket is an active member of this community.

Lovely shave with an outdoorsy tobacco theme. I smell ready for adventure.

Wish you all a great Sunday!

Bloody difficult to find, though ;-) The N⁰ 32 is a 6/8 and I definitely want that in my collection.

I found one!

Need honing, and I haven't had the time yet, though.

That is an awesome piece! Well done!
