  • Brush: Summer Break Soaps 'Geneva' 28mm B16
  • Razor: EldrormR Industries MM24
  • Blade: GEM PTFE (1)
  • Lather: Chicago Grooming - AG 1889
  • Post Shave: Chicago Grooming - Montrose Beach - Splash
  • Fragrance: Chicago Grooming - Montrose Beach - EdT

MARCH MADNESS!!! LFG!

Kicking the month off with an easy decision for me.

It's not easy being a Chicago fan. You have things like this. And things like this..

Also this.

And this.

Even when things are looking up, things like this happen.

We have to deal with a stubbornly high crime rate that won't go down and that we get beat over the head with all the time in the media. There's our traffic - we're the best at traffic.

But it's still a great place to live and work. And it gave birth to one of the top artisans in Wetshaving. So I hope our beloved Chicago Grooming Co. is able to pull it off against Big Soap himself.

But even if she doesn't, I had a great shave today. And that really makes this whole thing worthwhile.
