  • Brush: Simpson Chubby 2 Manchurian
  • Razor: FilarmΓ³nica 14 Doble Temple (8/8", extra full hollow, carbon steel)
  • Lather: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! Spiced
  • Post Shave: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! Spiced
  • Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! Spiced

Once @PorkButtsNTaters666@sub.wetshaving.social mentioned Samichlaus soap, the choice for today's trickhole was set. Mandarines and gingerbread spices make Spiced an instant trigger for childhood memories of the little Samichlaus bags filled with … mandarines and gingerbread that kids around here get around December 6th. Just missing notes of jute and peanuts to be a full replica.

Great shave this morning with super quick, wet and slick lather. The 20.1 base was really good!

It's interesting that you find it gingerbready - I get kind of a very synthetic (not in a good sense) candy vibe off Spiced. And I say this as someone who generally likes synthetic candy aromas.

Yeah, Spiced is divisive. To u/Semaj300,0, it famously smells like sun lotion πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

I'll just jave to add a gingerbread to the Barbarossa to explain what I mean πŸ˜
