Voices is a beautiful, slightly gourmand fragrance that is a collaboration between House of Mammoth and the Lather Talk podcast. Voices showcases Ben's ability to capture and distill the essence of mango sticky rice into a wearable fragrance. No small feat to pull off well, but he has the award to back it up. GF2 is a white-label Shawn Maher scent for SW, but it carried the mango note forward from Voices. The brush is also a collaboration between Brochas El Druida, House of Mammoth, and Chisel and Hound for the Tobacconist release.
My technique with this Feather Artist Club knock-off kamasori needs a ton of improvement. I finished the shave with several nicks on my neck (expected) and two weepers on my cheek (unexpected). I can't remember the last time I cut myself on the cheek. Geez!
So of course the challenge for today would be to use Osma. I've not used alum for some time, but it didn't sting like I thought it would. I think it helped that, despite the cuts, I didn't have much irritation from the shave.
