July 16, 2023 – LG2023 Day Sixteen
- Brush: Ever Ready – Vintage ER 200 26mm Boar
- Razor: Fasan – Translucent Slant
- Blade: Polsilver (5)
- Lather: Westman Shaving – Clichê
- Post Shave: Westman Shaving – Clichê
Clichê is Westman Shaving’s take on the ever popular Barbershop and the slight tongue in cheek name is a nod to just how over saturated the Barbershop Market is, I used to have quite a few Barbershop Scents but now I only tend to grab them if they offer something a little different and being a fan of Tiago’s other scents I thought this would be a good addition.
The notes include Eucalyptus, Bergamot, Grapefruit, Vanilla, Tobacco, Leather, Vetiver, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Musk and the result is a slightly sweet but fresh scent with a really nice musky base note that leaves you going back for a sniff almost sub consciously.
The hardware today consists of some vintage delights, the Fasan is a beauty and although I struggle with light razors I can’t help but love this design and please don’t confuse it’s with Dirty Doug From PAAs copy this is the OG Translucent DE.
The brush is my first attempt at a handle restoration, I managed to open it up from a piddly 21mm up to a bore size capable of fitting this 26mm Shoat Knot from Turn n Shave. It’s not the best but it’s decent enough and the colourway is one of my favourites.
I went and did a few different memes for today so hopefully one to tickle everyone’s fancy here
