Aug. 3, 2022 - Thrice as nice!

• Prep: Water water wash
• Brush: Zenith B33 Copper Boar Brush
• Razor: GEM Micromatic Open Comb
• Blade: Persona GEM PTFE Coated (3)

• Lather: House of Mammoth - 福 (Fu Dao) - Soap

• Post Shave: House of Mammoth - 福 (Fu Dao) - Aftershave

• Post Shave: House of Mammoth - 福 (Fu Dao) - Balm

• Fragrance: House of Mammoth - 福 (Fu Dao) - Eau de Parfum

It’s neat to see how the boar knot is starting to change already. You can see it starting to loosen up a little. It still stinks when wet, but my girlfriend said: “it just smells like an old man.” 😂 I hope I do not smell like that when I am an old man! There is still more backbone than I like. It only lost hairs on the second shave so far. The handle is already starting to patina, I think this is going to be a cool brush.

I purposely over hydrated the tusk base soap to see how it shaves. I was pleasantly surprised that while it was running off my face and neck it still provided enough protection and lubrication to have a close comfortable 2 pass shave.

The scent from the splash and balm lasts for an hour maybe 2, but the fragrance lasts much longer. I think 1-2 sprays of the EdP is enough; however, I am going to go with the Stag Rules and use 1 spray for number of weeks we are into Austere August.
