02 June 2024 Complementary Non Dickkhole Barrister and Mann Bay Rum

  • Prep: Warm Shower
  • Brush: Prometheus Red Boti Fan 28mm
  • Razor: Aylsworth Apex
  • Blade: Gillette Nacet (34)
  • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Bay Rum (18)
  • Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co - Bonaparte A/S
  • Post Shave: Thayer's Concoction
  • Post Shave: Good Oleo
  • Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Unscented Balm
  • Fragrance: Chatillon Lux - 88 Chestnut Street

Super busy day today, since we had good weather. Lots of home and outdoor chores.

There's only one Bay Rum that I really like. I haven't tried it in the Omnibus base, but B&M's Bayrum in the Excelsior base has a really bright punch ty sweet warm citrus (sometimes it almost feels like it has a metallic tang), with a nice balance of warmth from the Bay, spices and whatever sweet resinuous element is in it.

I was initially thinking of using Caties Bubbles Reflections as a complement, but I forgot and ended up seeing Stirling's Bonaparte and decided to use it. Some folks say that it smells like their meemaw's toe jam, but I beg to differ. It has a wonderful astringent greenness and spice, that I like a lot.

88 Chestnut Street nicely softened everything out, with the neroli dominant citrus.

Glad that u/Priusaurus still has the thrill. Day 1 post was fun to read.

Cheers
