Jun 19, 2023 - Wholly Mammoth Monday, Batman!

  • Prep: Klar - Activated Charcoal - Face Soap
  • Brush: Chisel & Hound Chocolate Drop 26mm v19 Fanchurian
  • Razor: RazoRock Game Changer .84-P
  • Blade: Gillette Platinum [1]
  • Lather: Wholly Kaw - Amber Bomba - Soap
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Rumble - Splash

The velvety vanilla, honey, and caramel of Wholly Kaw's Amber Bomba is a truly beautiful scent. HoM's Rumble added warm chocolate and rum to the shave making for an incredible pairing. Due to the deep, warm tones of these scents, they are not exactly warm weather scents and will be perfect come autumn.

Based on Reddit's wisdom of the crowd, I paired the razor with a Gillette Platinum to great results. I had a few small nicks from the ATG pass that I'll attribute to having the GC-84 out of the razor rotation for a while now.
