- Brush: Elite Razor Custom Birch Timberwolf Synthetic
- Razor: Razorock GC .84
- Blade: Astra Green (6)
- Lather: Martin De Candre- Vetyver
- Post Shave: Declaration Grooming- Le Petite Prairie
Shave: Thanks to u/solongamerica for the MDC smush. This is my first experience with Martin De Candre. I have had my eye on one their infamous tubs for awhile but haven’t pulled the trigger. I was pleasantly surprised. The bowl lather initially started out very bubbly but after the slow addition of water this stuff turn into one of the best lathers I have had in a while and the resulting shave was great. Vetiver is not a note that my nose initially enjoys, it is too dry and grassy. After this was lathered I actually quite enjoyed the scent.
Challenge: ATG all the way…except for my neck which I simply cannot shave anything but WTG or I can’t shave for a few days from the irritation.
Viewing: Vetiver is a type of grass. The smell of grass always reminds me of my first job doing landscaping and mowing/trimming grass for a few neighbors. I would often have to head to Home Depot for new trimmer line or for various other tools of the trade. The Home depots ads for the past decade have all featured the same voice, actor Josh Lucas from Sweet Home Alabama and Glory Road. Nowadays i recognize him more for his voice than anything else.
