  • Brush: Shavemac w/ AP Shave Co 26mm Pure Bliss™ SHD Premium Synthetic Knot
  • Razor: Blackland Osprey
  • Blade: Astra SP (Green)
  • Lather: Barrister and Mann – Hallows
  • Post Shave: Barrister and Mann – Hallows

I am hoping that B&M Hollows is counted as a vetiver. It’s the only soap I own that I know has it, or better yet, has it listed as a top scent note. Heck, it’s the first listed scent note! In truth though, I wouldn’t really know what vetiver smells like. I know it’s a grass, but I always think of common green grass. I’m not sure if vetiver smells the same, but common grass is not a scent I detect in the Hollows. My understanding is that you either love the scent or hate it. I am in the latter group. I think it’s a decent scent (not my favorite, but definitely not the worst), and I have no problems adding it to my shaving regiment.

Today’s Challenge: Oddly, my first passes are usually ATG, so this challenge is somewhat easier for me. I do admit that I usually need more than one pass, especially when shaving my head. For the sake of this challenge, I made only one pass. Not the best shave I’ve had, as a result.
