  • Brush: Farvour Turncraft B15
  • Razor: Supply Pro #DIAL
  • Blade: Supply Black Label
  • Lather: Ariana & Evans – Spartacus
  • Post Shave: Ariana & Evans – Spartacus
  • Fragrance: Stirling Soap Co. - Executive Man EdT

Spartacus is a dupe of Creed Aventus, which is apparently a chypre. Not that I fully understand what a chypre is nor what it smells like. Apparently B&M has quite a few that classify (Death, War, Le Grande Chypre...etc.) but already used them for Fremen Friday.

I am also not sure that I get the hype behind Aventus, though it does smell pretty nice to me. Finished off with Executive Man, which is also a dupe of Aventus.

As far as shaving YouTubers go...I have seen quite a few recommendations for u/Cadinsor, which I fully support as his videos were quite helpful when starting out with lathering. Also if you are looking for a very 'spirited' YouTuber and into head shaving and some other shenanigans Subie Shaves (u/luvmy07subie) is worth a look. I believe he was the one who first pointed me towards being able to use GEM blades in my OneBlade Genesis.
