The Final Countdown - March 12, 2026

Thanks for the SV recommendations. Maggard is out of 80th anniversary so I ordered some 70th anniversary. So it's time to start the countdown til this Haverford tub of Haverford is killed. I've been tub loading it so it probably has a couple weeks left at this rate.

If you like Acqua di Gio, you'll like 70th. It's the only SV I've held on to. 🍻

  • Brush: Rad Dinosaur Creations - w/AP Shave Co. Cashmere 26mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Worcester Razor Co. Straight - 6/8 Half Hollow (7)
  • Lather: Zingari Man - The Highlander - Soap
  • Post Shave: Chatillon Lux - Lamplight Penance - Toner
  • Post Shave: Zingari Man - The Stargazer - Aftershave Serum

This razor is keeping its reputation for not feeling all that great (just not all that sharp, I guess), but giving excellent results.

The Highlander is a wonderful scent. Thanks for the sample @porkbuttsntaters666@sub.wetshaving.social.

You're welcome - hope one day they will be available in Europe

Rocking El Cantinero this morning since it looks like Zingari Man was knocked out yesterday. RIP.

I also got a set of Le Labo samples in the mail this week which I'm excited to try. Bergamote 22 is a really nice floral citrus scent that fit with El Cantinero nicely.
