I picked up Hâttric on a whim yesterday. It's a heavy, old-feeling musky citrus scent. I think I like it, and it plays well with leather, but the combo is pretty old-school.

Yesterday's matchup seems to have kicked out CGC. Bummer

I really love how the citrus and leather play against each other in this.

Having Stirling, Noble Otter, DG, and BaM tied for last place tells me that the project of introducing chaos into March Madness totally worked. This is fascinating. Also, Bubbles tied for first with Talent makes me happy.

Tue 11 Mar 2025: Day 6 of March Madness

  • Brush: Chisel and Hound – Flame On with v26 Fanchurian
  • Razor: C. V. Heljestrand MK Nº 31 (square point, full hollow, 5/8", carbon steel)
  • Lather: Noble Otter – 茉莉綠茶
  • Post Shave: Gentleman's Nod – Musashi
  • Fragrance: Giorgio Armani – Thé Yulong

Delicious green tea overload to start the day? Count me in. The otter gets my vote today.

The Heljestrand is a smooth little shaver, and I'm in equal measure amused and confused by the thumb notch, and I'm still in the honeymoon phase with the brush and knot.

I'm a bit disappointed to see Chiseled Face eliminated so early

Same, but at the same time, other than TSF every dropmoit going forward will feel a bit sad to me

Mailcall (sub.wetshaving.social)
 

A nice little mailcall arrived.

I had tried Tobacconist a while back in soap form and loved it, and I've finally pulled the trigger on the frag. Such a nice rich tobacco scent!

I've first tried Macduff's base thanks to @[email protected]'s BVWSC submission a few month back and I was really impressed with the soap base. The scent is a blind buy, but the scent notes tobacco, lemon zest, spiced plum, roasted coffee, vetiver, cedar were intriguing me and I really like the scent off the tub. I'm looking forward to exploring it after AS2EB.

Finally, the comically large tin of LPL is my first tub from this artisan after having tried it also thanks to BVWSC, this time from @[email protected].
