2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Simple straight forward shave today. Totally enjoyed Seaforth! Leather.
Hey, look who it is!
Yep. I'm back :)
I was worried it was my fault because I turned off https://old.wetshaving.social/ without much notice, and you disappeared shortly after haha.
No, my schedule for Jan. and Feb. was a bit chaotic so my attendance suffered.
Dirtyver and Pino Silvestre go great together

How much MOAR can a MOAR BOAR MOAR if a MOAR BOAR could BOAR MOAR?
A MOAR BOAR would BOAR as much MOAR as a MOAR BOAR could BOAR if a MOAR BOAR could BOAR MOAR!
And thatβs all I have to say about that.
Except that big kudos, as always, to Rod for making the MOAR BOAR happen. Yet another reason we should catapult Stirling to the top

Mar 1, 2025 - MM25: Talent Soap Factory
Kicking off March Madness with TSF's Columbiana, a bold, dark-roasted coffee scent that is perfect to wake up to in the morning.
Let's see whether this new format will lead to more surprises than last years brackets! I didn't want to let SW drop out in the first round, and Carpathia's tea and forest scent felt like the right choice.
Day 1 of the TSF domination era of March Madness

MARCH MADNESS 2025 DAY 1
This may be one of the best shaves I've had in awhile. I think it's because synthetic knots really make the best lather for me and the nice combinations of the soap and splash. I really like the CB splash because it gives that clean, almost squeaky feel immediately after application. I am also really liking this Legacy.

Itβs a lot more mild than I thought it would be but itβs so smooth. To me itβs a mindless shaver

Roam Two is a great scent. I really enjoyed it.

Very smooth shave this morning to start off March Madness. Stirling worked up a perfect lather.
Have a great Saturday!
