Barbershop scents are another favorite, tied with incense. I had thought about using 3 different artisans for todays theme, but in thr end I decided to give full credit to the best artisan Barbershop scent out there. BarrBarr, to me, has the best western Barbershop scent that I've tried, and at this point, I've tried quite a few. It was a fantastic shave this morning, and this Mrs thinks I smell liked baked goods. I have no complaints.
What better to pair with a 🐐 barbershop scent than a boar and a fat 8/8 near wedge? Nothing, that's what. These large and heavy blades move through the thickest hair silently and with the utmost conviction. There is no skipping, no extra pressure needed. You just gotta let this fat boi do the work. I recently shaved a friends head with this razor. For science, I used two different blades to start, and we did not buzz his hair short beforehand. First, I used a W&B 7/8 Extra Hollow, and it admittedly struggled with that much hair. I mean, it did it, but it took a little convincing. I then pulled out this Koraat. It took no convincing. It plowed through everything effortlessly. It was much easier to control. It was immediately apparent why these styles were preferred. I finished the rest of the first past with this. The second pass was done with the W&B.
I hear you like memes. One More
