  • Brush: Brad Sears Arley 26mm Super Badger
  • Razor: GEM MMOC Gold Gen2 #FLIPTOP #RUSTYBUTTRUSTY
  • Blade: Personna Gem PTFE (2)
  • Lather: House of Mammoth - Smash - Soap
  • Post Shave: Wholly Kaw - Amber Bomba - Toner
  • Post Shave: Thayers - Rose - Toner
  • Fragrance: Creed Silver Mountain Water

 


A bourbon smash. What's not to love. Great drink and a great soap fragrance courtesy of Will at BaM.

We're entering into our "heavy" season here in Maryland, humidity creeps up, and even when temps are moderate the atmosphere feels oppressive, I needed to be out of the house most of the day, so the lightness of Silver Mountain Water just seemed appropriate.

The MMOC continues to be my favorite safety razor. I love the elegant fliptop mechanism and the blade feel. I have a bunch of other safety razors in my collection, but this design was never topped IMO.

As for a shave video ... well, maybe next year. This year, I'll need to try to find someone with more depth of shaving knowledge, a more interesting career, and better weather reporting skills than u/VisceralWatch. Clearly, there is no equal. However, Johan Granath (Shave&Butcher) tells a dad joke better, and has an equally comfortable presence in front of a camera while shaving.
