  • Brush: Chisel and Hound – Screwdjriver with v28 Fanchurian

  • Lather: Geo. F. Trumper – Rose
  • Post Shave: Mäurer & Wirtz – Wild Ride

I don't use this GFT cream often enough. It's such a simple scent that I often overlook it, even though it's just a delight.

Shout-out to @gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social and @snooting@sub.wetshaving.social who are keeping BBS November alive. Maybe I'll join again next year.

  • Brush: Chisel & Hound "Spice Lily" - TurnNShave Tuxedo 26mm Synthetic

  • Post Shave: Zingari Man - The Rambler - Recovery Splash
  • Post Shave: Oleo & Co. - Facial Toner - Toner

The Rambler seems to be a less popular ZM scent around here, which I think is unfortunate. It's perfect for a chilly, rainy morning.

Have a great day!

cold water - November 5, 2025

  • Brush: Maggard Razors - Tuxedo 24mm Synthetic
  • Razor: RazoRock GOAT
  • Blade: Zorrik Super Platinum (7)
  • Lather: House of Mammoth - You & I (Will Die) - Soap
  • Post-shave: Sketch - Bay Rum - Aftershave

Very nice cold water shave. They're working on replacing our boiler, so no heat or hot water. Luckily I get to skip town and stay in hotels for work the next couple of nights. yayy.

Writing this SOTD from a new tool made by ShavingInCT. It's pretty amazing so far! It pulls in your razor/brushes/soaps etc. from the Shaving Data System if you have that set up, so you can manage your den using a cool spreadsheet style database that gives you lots of neat info, and then hop on over to this SOTD generator and Bob's your uncle.
