    3/14/16 - Stormy Monday!!

    Chiseled Face Summer Storm
    Semogue Italian Barber LE
    Gold Monkey
    Chatillon Lux Bon Vivant

    As of now, this is my artisan soap of the year!! Wonderful stuff.

    This brush, which doesn't work good for bowl lathering with me, is great on face lathering.

    Again today, I'm floored by the complexity and beauty of Chatillon Lux!!

    Today's aftershave, Bon Vivant, is after a whiskey drink that was created in the old days of South Saint Louis by a man known as "The Professor". A subtle sweet and spicy, citrus beginning that mellows out into a very nice musk scent. The smell of an old parlor as I would imagine it. Another that I'll be purchasing! And this is the one I didn't think I would like. Haha.

    It's a different take on Bay Rum in my opinion. I really don't like the traditional Bay Rums. But this is lovely!!

    Thought about making a thread of my adventures with trying these aftershaves.

    Video is up of today's shave on my page:

    image.jpeg Razor: Gillette 195 Fat Boy (f1) 1960 (5) (3)
    Brush: Wolf Whiskers "Becky" handle TGN Finest F2 Badger 26/52 2016
    Mug: Old Spice 1985 Cobalt Blue
    Cream/soap: Route 66 Bourbon Jungle
    Blade: Feather (1)
    Post shave: Thayers Cucumber WH, Jack Black balm, Tommy Bahamas St. Barts cologne

    Swirled up some Bourbon Jungle with my new Wolf Whiskers Badger, and its nice backbone whipped up some nice warm lather. The soft brush felt good on my face and I really like the way the handle feels in my hand. My FB is still my favorite razor and as usual, made quick work in 2 passes WTG XTG. A little touchup on my neck ATG on 3 and done. I had enough lather left over for another pass. The WH felt good, nice and cool. After cleanup some JB and when it dried, some nice St. Barts! The TGN knot is very nice in this Wolf Whiskers brush, and the tips are as soft as a Silvertip, but it still has a lot of backbone, even with it not set deep. Great brush! Have a good one y'all!
