At this point in the competition, it's hard to say which way these match-ups will go. I almost went with Spiced, but Shire was fantastic this morning, as always.

Had a very hard time choosing this morning. I really enjoy the Spearhead stuff. But the boozy Smash was calling to me this morning. The lather really whipped up nicely too. Great shave this morning.

Used the third brush in the u/OnionMiasma brush pass around. Dogwood handcrafts with the 28mmMaggard SHD. So far the softest of the bunch. I really enjoy this brush.

Time for coffee. Have a great shave day this morning.

Ok I have a confession to make…I have been bribed. Last week both u/ironbeard_SYS and u/mammothBen were offering samples of their upcoming releases for the low low cost of just paying shipping. To rectify my sins, I am using both products today for their battle. Sorry Dennis, I didn’t make the rules about what counts for todays matchup, you should probably fire your bribery department chairman.

Both of these scents are incredible but I’ll start with Everett, as a father of 2 boys, I have been waiting for this since Ben announced it last year. Like usual, this is supporting an incredible cause, this one going towards helping young kids avoid the tragedy that Everett experienced. The notes include: Sunshine, Oranges, Marshmallow, Fresh Grass and right off the top i am immersed into the feeling of this soap. I get the feeling of eating marshmallows outside with the hint of citrus. Ben shared some of his thoughts on Discord about this scent:

“Formulation-wise, I explored a lot of directions, from something childlike/representative to something more "adult" with a few notes inspired by Everett's likes. I ended up with something that I think transcends either idea. It's something experiential, something that begins with a young boy eating orange slices on a sunny day and ends in the evening with the boy on your lap, head drooping, holding a halt-eaten s'more.”

The label for Everett really wraps up all of my Dad feelings in a nice bow and kicks my heart in the nards. Thank you Ben for making me feel things with soap.

Roman Spice is the next is the next revival of a vintage Seaforth scent done by u/hawns with notes: Grapefruit, Apple, Spring Water, Jasmine, Geranium, Frankincense, Beachwood & Spice.

I’ve only worn it a little while and am admittedly terrible with picking out scent notes. But it’s a little fruity and a little spicy with an almost cologne flair to it. I will be picking this up for sure when it comes out!

Ugh, really tough one today. Ben and Dennis are pillars of our little community, they both make fantastic software, and for me personally, they have very little overlap. For instance, Black Watch and Shire are amongst my all time favourites, but they convey such different moods that they never compete. There are days I feel like Shire (which may compete with something like Valedictorian) or days I feel like Black Watch (competing with things like Cerb or Boltzmann) but the spear and the mammoth never compete against each other. Until today, that is 😭.

In the end, I'm throwing my lot in with the hunter because every single Seaforth! release I've tried was a winner for me. Doesn't mean I'll be able to enjoy my pound of juicy Mammoth flesh with a clear conscience should we bring down the mighty beast.

On a side note, I'm amused by the idea that House of Mammoth is the big hulking Goliath in this match-up when both contestants are tiny one part-time person shops with a single contractor each (Shawn and Vida).

Welcome back to Wetshaving Arena wetshaving fans. March Madness has lived up to it's name in both the basketball tournament and here on the sub. But, we're going to ignore Yale taking down an SEC team or Grand Canyon taking down a WCC stalwart and focus on Spearhead taking on House of Mammoth for the right to challenge Stirling in the semifinals.

Spearhead fans are feeling full of themselves and have shown up here to "Spear the Mammoth" wearing nothing but animal skins and smelling like dirt. Or maybe dirt with a heavy dose of SSL or 3 Scots. Unfortunately, that side of the arena looks and smells like a Grateful Dead show. On the other side of the arena are the happily showered and nattily dressed House of Mammoth supporters. u/mammothben has assured his fans that if he wins, he has the sprinklers over the Spearhead side set to douse the unwashed masses with his award winning fragrances while giving them his best Jerry Garcia middle finger.

It's time to give a Tusk To the Nuts to the Spear the Mammoth crew. Let's get ready to ruuuuuuuuuuumbllllleeeee!

Onto the shave and this was a no-brainer for me. Look, if I schlepped a HoM soap to Miami with me for last weekend's shave, do you think I wasn't going to use it in my home den? The only question for me was which scent. It's snowing here today so Hygge would have been appropriate. But, I'm ready for spring (or Mud Season as we call it here in Maine), so Alive got the call. It did not disappoint. The blade, on the other hand, was a bit of disappointment. It felt a bit tuggy. We'll see if a little hand stropping brings it back tomorrow or it gets binned after the shave.

Try to enjoy your day and remember to be kind to one another.

Tough decision today because both artisans produce premium products. That said, Spearhead’s Highland base is supreme.

It was obvious for me which soap to use, but which fragrance. It is a pretty dreary day today, overcast and raining some. I went with Indigo for that bright berry hit, and Shire 2 to give me a more green spring and summer feel. Finished with more of the indigo.

Went back through the posts, and it is going to be a nail biter. Come on Mammoth Mafia- Pick up the pace and bring this one home!

I could blather endlessly on how great both HoM and Spearhead are, but I ultimately chose HoM because Tusk is my cheat code. When my shaving and/or lathering technique starts to fail, I lean on Tusk as I work on fixing my flaws because no matter how bad my technique is I can count on Tusk offering the protection I need to avoid tearing up my face. Happy shaving and have a wonderful day.

This one is tough. The rest of the bracket will be full of difficult decisions.

While Spearhead's soap is a slightly better performer than Z, Spearhead's packaging is best-in-class, and I adore Spiced (I'm also very enthusiastic about the upcoming Roman Spice), I have to give this one to House of Mammoth—even if it ain't Monday. Many of Ben's scents are among my favorites, I love his brand's focus on charitable efforts, and that logo is terrific. I also enjoy more HoM scents than I do Spearhead scents; y'all can have your Sea Spice Lime. Both brands are terrific contenders overall and you can't go wrong with either.

For my Mammoth soap, I went with my prize from a previous Austere August. Makes me smile.

HoM Alive is one of my favorite soaps, but there was still never a question as to which way I was going today. There are lots of scents I like, but 3 Scots was the first that I loved. 3 Scots’ close cousin Black Watch today because I got too excited yesterday and couldn’t wait. The 3 Scots frag layers well on top of it though.

Of the Spearhead Shaving soaps I have, Seaforth! Spiced is the perfect everyday, all-season scent IMO. Black Watch is more upscale. Heather and Sea Spice Lime are excellent for occasional use.
