  • Brush: Ever-Ready - 400 w/Motherload 30mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Gillette Red Tip Super Speed
  • Blade: Astra Superior Platinum SP (2)
  • Lather: House of Mammoth - Snippid - Soap
  • Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Petrichor - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Nivea - Sensitive - Balm

Snippid is interesting, but as is so common with me I'll need to give it some time for my nose to learn what to look for. Reading scent notes and ad copy sort of makes you wonder what something will smell like. Will it be earthy, leafy, fresh, funky, rich, mellow? I still don't really know, but my sense of it will improve with time.
