#MMarch24 Madness: Final Four - (1) 🧑‍⚖️ vs. (5) 🦦

• Brush: Mammoth x Voigt & Cop Smash 28mm VC01 Super Badger
• Razor: EldrormR Industries MM24 #MMarch24
• Blade: GEM (61)
• Lather: Barrister and Mann - Nordost - Shaving Soap
• Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Pharaoh's Dreamsicle - Aftershave
• Fragrance: Le Jardin Retrouvé - Sandalwood Sacré
• Passes: WTG, XTG
• Coffee: Bolivia. Caranavi. v: Catuai. Typica. p: washed. r: 2024-03-14
• Music: Elbow - AUDIO VERTIGO

I'm going to second and third-guess myself today.

My heart is with the otter on this one; looking at all the factors holistically, they could potentially take the whole bracket. However, I glanced at my soaps before today's shave, and Barrister and Mann occupies way more of my den than any other brand. And that's without factoring in aftershaves or at least one core-line scent I haven't picked up yet since I'll kill my sample first (which might be a while). Excelsior is still my favorite base, and Omnibus is excellent too, as is Barrister and Mann's packaging (though I'm partial to the old labels). Going brain over heart on this one. Still routing for the otter 'tho.

u/J33pGuy13, the V&C brush lost a few more hairs today, so we're up to twelve lost this shave and the last, plus however many I lost before that and failed to record. I'd say three or four each shave is a accurate estimate.
