Jul 18, 2023 - Spooky Season

  • Prep: Klar - Activated Charcoal - Face Soap
  • Brush: Chisel & Hound Chocolate Drop 26mm v19 Fanchurian
  • Razor: Gillette NEW DeLuxe (1930) #BRASSING #REGUS
  • Blade: Gillette Platinum [11]
  • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Hallows - Soap
  • Post Shave: MacDuffs Soap Company - Haunted Cabin - Aftershave (Alcohol Free)
  • Fragrance: Southern Witchcrafts - Samhain - Eau de Parfum

Hallows is marketed as a spooky, late October scent and I can't argue that it fits that description. Unlike the other two scents used today, it works pretty well anytime. Hallows is such a great scent, and Excelsior is still a great base. The lather this morning was phenomenal.

Haunted Cabin has a sweet, syrupy vibe, that while done well, really makes it fit squarely in the Autumn seasonal category. The pumpkin note worked supremely well with Samhain, and overall, I can't complain about any of these scents.

The New DeLuxe may be a scary looking razor at first, but the long open comb teeth make it a gentle shaver. For all it's efficiency, it's not aggressive at all.

Atlas Shaves Challenge: I don't understand this challenge, but here you go, weirdos. The longer hairs are from also shaving the back of my neck. I can provide a picture of my toenail clippings as well if anyone is interested.

Edit: Razor verification for brassing on the top cap and a serial number instead of a date code.
