December 15th, 2025: Shave #2

  • Brush: Wolf Whiskers - "Coffee & Cream" w/Declaration Grooming B1 Badger
  • Razor: Wolfman Guerilla - Gen 1
  • Blade: Personna Lab Blue (2)
  • Lather: Chiseled Face - Ghost Town Barber - Soap
  • Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Varen - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Declaration Grooming, House of Mammoth - Cerberus - Liniment

My poor face has endured quite a bit today, and it's only 10:30am! 2 shaves totaling 5 passes, frigid winter air while I scraped ice and snow off of my car, and even a Stirling aftershave thrown in just to really go for it.

Declaration Grooming Liniment is pretty much unsuitable for most of the year, but right now it has already soaked in and dried down without a greasy feeling.

I'm still doing blade science, working this blade towards 4 shaves so it matches the Personna GEM Diamond Platinum Diamond Glide. I feel like this Lab Blue is already approaching the same sweet spot that the Diamond Glide is currently in... but we'll see.
