  • Brush: Zenith r/Wetshaving 31mm x 57mm Moar Boar #SUBBROOSH
  • Razor: Wolfman Razors WR2/WRH2 #CNC
  • Blade: Personna Platinum (4)
  • Lather: Chicago Grooming - AG 1889 - Soap
  • Post Shave: Chicago Grooming - AG 1889 - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: West Coast Shaving - Alum
  • Fragrance: Initio - Paragon - Eau de Parfum
  • Talc: Pinaud Clubman Finest Powder
     

AG 1889 has the Darkwing (Duck Fat) base. I like everything about this soap. It is one of several top-tier soap bases in my inventory. The fragrance has really grown on me. I really looked forward to using it today.

I used a West Coast Shaving alum block after the shave today. I got nothing. Why would I want to go out and buy Osma to get ... nothing.

I have no idea why people spread salt on their face after shaving. My advice (to u/OnionMiasma) is: don't cut yourself or irritate your skin. And, if you think of wetshaving as "traditional" shaving, then you should be using a full-strength alcohol aftershave like us vintage shavers do. A block of salt is what I leave out in the woods for the deer as a salt lick. .... :-j
