• Lather: Declaration Grooming/Chatillon Lux - 88 Chestnut Street Soap
• Brush: Erskine Synthetic
• Razor: Blackland Era - SB1
• Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock SharpEdge Yellow
• Post Shave: Maggard - Alum Block
• Post Shave: Zingari Man - AS Balm (Unscented)

So I'm pretty sure Shawn Maher collaborated with Catie's Bubbles on La Terre Verte, but rules is rules and it ain't on the label. Chatillion Lux is prominently featured on this label for 88 Chestnut Street.

The soap is super soft compared to the rest of my samples, and it lathers up great. It also smells like Honeysuckle...which is quite pleasant. I went with an unscented balm and no frag so nothing competed with the scent. I liked it more than I thought I would. Also I just did one WTG pass with the Era today since I shaved late and need to satisfy the djudge's kink for shaved off whiskers tomorrow. I should have a decent amount to work with, freaks.

Onto Osma. I don't have it. But I was moved by somebody's review of it to look for it at one point then immediately forget about it next time I went binge-spending for shaving gear I didn't need. I used my Maggard block instead. It was ok. As I understand it, Osma is a solid piece of Alum whereas my block is the "particle board" of Alums...which is likely why it seldom makes it out of the plastic case in my den. I normally don't see much irritation these days and what little I do see us immediately soothed by either a splash or a balm...which is a better experience for me than rubbing salt on my face. Maybe I'll pick up some Osma the next time I'm feeling irresponsible to see what all the fuss is about.

Have a great day folks!
