March 7, 2026 -- March Madness

  • Brush: AP Shave Co Summer 28mm G5C
  • Razor: Wacker Jungmeister 6/8 Half Hollow Round Point
  • Lather: Southern Witchcrafts - Boonana - Soap
  • Toner: Thayers - Coconut - Toner
  • Aftershave: Floris London - No. 89 - Aftershave
  • Fragrance: Floris of London - No. 89 - Eau de Toilette

2 passes. Bowl lather. Excellent shave.

Today was just one of those great shaving days. This was a test shave of a vintage Silkstone edge; a new stone for me. I did not expect much from this stone, honestly. I thought it would create an edge that was similar to one of my slates. I'd say the feel from this stone was closer to a Jnat; very comfortable and extremely keen.

Today was also a chance to put in a March Madness vote for Southern Witchcrafts to stay in the race. And I hate to admit it but u/J33pGuy13 was on to something. Boonana felt like the perfect fragrance for moving out of winter and into spring.
