Sample part 1 of 3. Another slick and thick lather from Chiseled Face. This soap took little water to lather up. The scent is pleasant but mild. I'm thinking for Midnight Stag to exist in this universe, Guy Noir balances the scales.

Have a great Sunday!

Another day with a golden phallus-shaped fruit being honored in the Revolutionary Calendar.

September 14th, 2025: What the

  • Brush: Wolf Whiskers - "Gianmaria" w/Maggard 26mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Koraat 15/16 Full Hollow - Sub Exclusive 'Moarteen' (10)
  • Lather: Catie's Bubbles - 322 - Soap
  • Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Petrichor - Aftershave
  • Fragrance: GLHF Workshop - Atriox - EdP

Welp, Catie's Bubbles Premium base is blowing my mind. I have no idea what sort of magic is involved in this, but it's incredible. I look at the ingredients and nothing stands out as "special", but boy does it work.

Wonderful shave. The facial expression on the bergamot on the label always cracks me up. This cover art always lifts my day.
