  • Brush: Boti - Sunrise
  • Razor: Wade & Butcher The Sheffield (9/8", extra hollow ground)
  • Lather: Martin de Candre – Absinthe
  • Post Shave: Mühle – Aloe Vera
  • Fragrance: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Man

@snooting@sub.wetshaving.social inspired me in yesterday's SOTD thread to reach for MdC Absinthe. Sweeter and more minty than actual absinthe's scent it's still a delightful fresh scent and made for a great shave with the W&B broadsword.

The only thing I regret about purchasing Absinthe is that I went for the small tub. These are comically tiny and even with this small Boti synth brush, it feels like loading from a sample.
