    Mar 15, 2024 - MM24 8th Match-Up: HoM vs. WK

    • Brush: Trotter Handcrafts Gothic 26mm Manchurian T1 Knot
    • Razor: EldrormR Industries MM24 #MMarch24
    • Blade: Personna GEM PTFE [15]
    • Lather: House of Mammoth - Tobacconist - Soap
    • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Tobacconist - Splash
    • Fragrance: House of Mammoth - Tobacconist - Eau de Parfum

    I have nothing against Wholly Kaw, but House of Mammoth was an obvious choice for me. I've not used the Tobacconist trifecta in a while, so it was nice to return to it this morning.

    March 15, 2024 – March Madness

    • Prep: Coffee and splash of warm water
    • Brush: Wolf Whiskers w/ Elite 3-band premium badger knot
    • Razor: EldrormR Industries MM24 #MMarch24
    • Blade: Personna GEM PTFE
    • Lather: House of Mammoth – Shire
    • Post Shave: House of Mammoth – Shire

    I wish my nose weren’t so sus. I have a hard time picking up individual notes. But the overall scent of Shire 2 is very appealing to me. And the splash is so soothing. I didn’t read the ingredients, I don’t think there is any menthol in this. But it feels a little cooling to my face.

    The Wholly Kaw Amber Bomba was really calling to me this morning. I really enjoy that one. But the call of the Shire was too much for me. Finally Friday, it has been a long week. But, they all seem long any more.

    Now for coffee. Have a great shave day my friends.

    I’ve only tried a couple samples of WK and I wasn’t impressed with scents. I’m planning on getting reacquainted with some scents at Maggard’s next month.

    With all of u/djunjilla’s soapy talk, I definitely have to make a Mammoth purchase, too.

    MM24MaMMothMafia will undoubtedly rule.

    Happy end of the first round. Be kind to one another.

    Last use of the B9A+ before I get it cleaned up and sent back to its rightful owner. I don't want him going all Qui Gon Jinn on me.

    Wait... that might be the wrong Liam Neeson character.

    Anyway... I've not been shy that this is my favorite set. I think I have a handful of shaves left in this tub - it's disappearing at an alarming rate. Fun fact - if you sort by "best selling" at Maggards, this is their best selling HoM soap. I would have expected it to be either Hygge or Indigo, but I was wrong.

    A productive Friday so far. Had a great shave with a delightful scent that grows on me each time I use it. The MM24 gave me a damn smooth shave. Went to the DMV and got my license renewed, and was out in 15 minutes. Sent smushes to u/USS-SpongeBob and hopefully will not upset the USPS or Canada Post. Now I have to actually work...the thing I've been putting off all morning. Happy Friday everyone.

    Doing my duty today as a ranking member of the Mammoth Mafia. Dammusi is so fantastic!

    First use of this B16 brush! It was awesome! The handle is incredible (of course) the bottom of the handle is great size and fits perfectly in my hand.

    The knot was great, it doesn’t feel like a 24mm knot because of how dense it is. Great backbone with a tiny bit of scrub when I pressed but no noticeable scritch. I’m gonna love this one!

    It ain't Mammoth Monday, but it might as well be. House of Mammoth has it all: a killer soap base (Z), original scents with sharp perfumery and ton of character, an empathetic mission, and an owner who many of us chat with regularly on the sub and Discord. I can keep this one brief and let the products speak for themselves.

    It's been 9 months since I last used Indigo. I enjoy the scent way too much to neglect it as long as I did. I need to procure a tub and make Indigo my go to Mammoth Monday soap. Happy shaving and have a wonderful day.

    Anyone that knows me, knows that I love what Ben makes. If I had to pick 5 of my favorite scents in this hobby, HoM probably represents 3 of them.

    But I'm looking at the score thus far and the Mammoth is, unsurprisingly, stampeding the cow. And Sri is a super nice dude and an OG of this hobby. WK makes some quality products and King of Bourbon is one that I enjoy, so I'm tossing my shave to WK, because he doesn't deserve the kind of defeat that A&E and TSF got.

    Thanks to /u/Admirable-Nobody-946 for the smoosh. I don't know what to make of Uitwaaien. It smells like stale cigarettes and jasmin tea. There's a bit of a rose note. I'm glad I didn't blind buy this one.
