Fruity Sunday

  • Brush: Zenith 506U N (50/50 horse mane/tail)
  • Razor: Geneva Cutlery Co. Ontario 81 (5/8", full hollow, round point)
  • Lather: Declaration Grooming Peaches + Scream
  • Aftershave: Ariana and Evans Peach & Cognac
  • Fragrance: House of Mammoth/Noble Otter/Declaration Grooming Cerberus

Heavily leaning into the sweet stone fruit ๐Ÿ‘ today. The razor was in the first batch or straight razors I bought when the Lather Games Organising Committee introduced the hardware scavenger hunt in 2022, forcing me to learn this new skill. It's a run-of-the-mill 5/8 hollow ground and was well honed when I got it. It was the first straight razor I ever got a good shave from. I haven't used it in 18 or so months, and now, using it some 400 straight razor shaves later, it still felt good.

I forgot the #Talc today. Oops.

Got really nice compliments on both Cerberus and Peach & Cognac from the Mrs. Good times

Peach and cognac are favorites here. The soap and splash are nice too ;-)
