• Brush: Eberbart 24mm Best Badger #WEDONTNEEDNOSTINKINGBADGERS
• Razor: Wilkinson Sword Classic Razor

• Lather: Speick - Men Active - Soap
• Post Shave: Nivea - Sensitive Post Shave Balm - Aftershave
• Fragrance: Mäurer & Wirtz - Tabac Wild Ride - Eau de Toilette

The Local Software

I am very fortunate that our neighborhood Apotheke carries some quality shaving products. Speick is mass produced, but it is still a good value for the price. Nivea aftershave balm has been a staple in my shave den since I started shaving with carts. It just works and it's not expensive.

The Janky Brush

The brush is the first brush I bought when I started wetshaving. I knew nothing about what to look for then, and this brush proves it. It's the scritchiest little, good-for-nothing bugger I've ever used. Using the brush now it's funny to see how far I've come.

The Supermarket DE

This budget razor is the least efficient and simultaneously the most aggressive razor I've experienced. I was expecting it to be mild to the point of boredom, but I was unpleasantly surprised. The blade was easy to get misaligned, so I had to try loading it several times. When I rinsed the razor, something metal inside the plastic cover seemed to rattle around, so I kept checking to make sure the blade was secure. I mean, it was 5€, so there's that.

The Fragrance

Tabac Wild Ride is just what it says it is. It opens clean and fresh, but it's still just a level above Axe body spray. The dry down wasn't pleasant at all. It's a shame because the Tabac Man line of fragrances, like Gravity and Fire Power, are not bad.

It was a shave, but I've had better. I came away shaven, but the software was the saving grace in all this.

I like fougères, I like lavender, fig, sandalwood, Palo Santo, and jasmine. Rose or petrichor can be nice when done right. When a scent has any of these in the description then I pay attention. I think any scent that I came up with would incorporate, and probably feature, some of these scents.

Rating: 3/5
