Post Shave
Aftershave: Pinaud Clubman Citris Musk Aftershave
Aftershave Talc: Pinaud Clubman Aftershave Talc

Result: 4.2/5.0 One tiny tiny weeper. It's that time of year again where I need to start moisturizing my shins from the dry air, car heater and wearing jeans. I'm using up some old soaps right now so I'm not getting the benefits of using an Issy or Epicurean Soap. My stropping is not the best so the str8 was not as sharp as I'd like. Worked fine but I know it can do much better. Practice, practice, practice. I probably should invest in a paddle/box strop at some point. The TGQ soaps never fail me. The Clubman is way too strong and I need to remember to cut it back with some Thayer's Witch Hazel. I brought the Tiger Hair Tonic into work since I liked it so much. Good thing I have another bottle at home. I need to try the Jeris Osage Rub next.

I think it's prolly in the mug?

Maybe?

 

Yes, it does appear the brush is on top of something. That would be one heck of a loft otherwise.

An AC non-folding user. I forget how many of those we have on here. Got to be 4-5 by now.

 

What do you do with shaving mugs? :rofl
