So small business Saturday and without Maggards I honestly don’t think I would of been as deep in the wet shaving rabbit hole as I am and I mean that in a truly grateful way.
When I can back into wetshaving after a hiatus it had changed, artisans were not a thing in wet shaving my first time around and if they had I probably wouldn’t of grown the beard that led to my break from the hobby. When I finally accepted I was going a little thing on top and started head shaving I started joining a few FB groups and saw that no more was I tied to the traditional british soaps and creams, there were shiny artisans to try and I was drawn to the labels and the creative scents. I quickly worked out that Maggards was the place to go online to get most of these goodies and even better they helped out us Brits with decent postage price’s. The landscape has changed and there are more stores to choose from now and even us brits have a few decent sites to chose from but I still try to use maggards when I can and they still look after us International folk much better than most. I know the changes of making one of the famous meet ups is pretty much impossible but I was great to see the videos and such from that day and just shows how important Brad and his team are to the community.
Long Live Maggards
I would normally go for London Barbershop from Maggards software line purely as its close the The Kraken from MLSW but this time I thought I would add some refreshing citrus to this warm muggy day we are having.
The software is solid and you know what you are getting and that’s straight up Lime and Bergamot, I’m not sure if other notes are in play but I pretty much just get a full hit of citrus.
I dug out the Emir for today’s scrape and I tend to lean towards the OC side of this dual headed beautiful specimen and was yet again gifted with a beautiful smooth shave.
