    2 more shaves ahead. Today I realized that I've gone noseblind to the Baker Street splash. This has become one of my favorite Stirling scents, when I can smell it and appreciate it.

    Brush before and after pics.

    $BarnyardChallenge musical inspiration provided by Rage Against The Machine by way of Bob Dylan. "Maggie's Farm" keeps me on theme.

    Coffee and then this Thursday is off and running. Try to enjoy your day and remember to be kind to one another.

    New synthetic knot that I got from Chisel & Hound. It's a really good synthetic, I like it! The handle is one of Rob's Finest, that's for sure.

    I really like Barrister & Mann aftershave. Other aftershaves can either be drying, or overly moisturizing. B&M is just right. It doesn't leave any sort of oily film, but at the same time my skin feels great.

    August 29, 2024 – Luxurious Barnyard

    • Brush: Semogue Torga C5
    • Razor: Christopher Bradley B SB AL plate – Maggard Handle
    • Blade: Wizamet (4)
    • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. – Varen
    • Post Shave: Noble Otter – Orbit

    This semogue has really developed into a wonderfully soft brush. I don’t think my technique has developed too much over the month. Varen still just so solid. Finally able to dial it in quicker. Cheers!
