• Brush: Chisel and Hound Azurite with 26 mm Maggard Tuxedo knot
• Razor: Koraat – r/Wetshaving exclusive Moarteen (15/16", full hollow, carbon steel)
• Lather: Barrister and Mann – Le Grand Chypre
• Post Shave: Hâttric – Classic

LGC might be my scent for this summer. Fun, fresh, and who doesn’t like a coke when it’s warm?

I’ve also never let it go far enough to see find the limit :)

Can we exclude accidental beheadings?

No, we can’t. Occam’s answer. #WhatHaveWeDone

This should be about shave 29. I’ve used it just a little over once per day since it landed

Fri 16 May 2025

• Brush: Declaration Grooming Washington Blood of Kings B3
• Razor: Koraat – r/Wetshaving exclusive Moarteen (15/16", full hollow, carbon steel)
• Lather: Chicago Grooming Co. / House of Mammoth – Armonía
• Post Shave: Declaration Grooming – Opulence
• Fragrance: Chatillon Lux – Weinstrasse

A lively scentscape in this shave. Armonía and Weinstrasse have these bright green, and loud notes which while different, play very well together, a tart wrapper for this sweet Opulence sandwich.

Yet another very smooth shave and I’m pleased that the factory edge on this Koraat is holding up this well.

Thu 15 May 2025

• Brush: Chisel and Hound – Flame On with v26 Fanchurian
• Razor: Koraat – r/Wetshaving exclusive Moarteen (15/16", full hollow, carbon steel)
• Lather: Noble Otter – RAWR
• Post Shave: Speick – Men Active
• Fragrance: Mäurer und Wirtz – Tabac Man Gravity

Not necessarily a floral scent, but there’s neroli in there, so I’m counting it as on theme.

Creamy dense lather

It was a Black Friday offering a few years back. It’s really nice!

• Brush: Zenith r/Wetshaving exclusive MOAR BOAR (31 mm × 57 mm bleached boar)
• Razor: Koraat – r/Wetshaving exclusive Moarteen (15/16", full hollow, carbon steel)
• Lather: Stirling Soap Co. – Mountain Man
• Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. – Mountain Man
• Fragrance: Creed – Silver Mountain Water

Happy Moarteen day 🎉.

About a month ago, these glittery green razors started landing in their dens and it’s interesting what happened: exactly half of the razors never showed up in an SOTD post. Cold feet? Secret shaves? Nobody knows.

Either way, lovely shave with the sub exclusive hardware, and Mountain Man/Silver Mountain Water is a very enjoyable placeholder until the sub exclusive I, Rich Moose can complete the colour-coordinated 100% sub exclusive SOTD.

• Brush: Zenith B8 (XL aluminium handle, 28 mm × 57 mm boar)
• Razor: Koraat – r/Wetshaving exclusive Moarteen (15/16", full hollow, carbon steel)
• Lather: Stirling Soap Co – Black Pepper Lime
• Post Shave: Speick – Men Active

I craved a bit of Black Pepper Lime, so a little second luxury shave was in order.

Get well soon!

Tabac Tuesday 13 May 2025

• Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts Tabak Oridjinal, now with 28 mm Gelousy knot
• Razor: Koraat – r/Wetshaving exclusive Moarteen (15/16", full hollow, carbon steel)
• Lather: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original
• Post Shave: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original
• Fragrance: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original

I enjoy Tabac Tuesdays as a counter pole to the somewhat ridiculous diversity I choose from most days.

A scent I enjoy, a soap that works well, a brush I know by heart, it’s really easy to relax and enjoy the ritual. No thinking about which scent notes I catch, no analysing of the brush-soap matchup, no mental notes about improvements, no parsing of layered scent combinations: this would get really boring after a while if it was a daily thing, but like this, one a week, it’s an oasis of relaxation, and it also makes me appreciate variety of the other days.

Mon 12 May 2025

• Brush: Simpson Chubby 2 Super Badger
• Razor: Koraat – r/Wetshaving exclusive Moarteen (15/16", full hollow, carbon steel)
• Lather: Catie’s Bubbles – Connecticut Shade
• Post Shave: Macduffs Soap Company – Trail Tobacco
• Fragrance: House of Mammoth – Tobacconist

Lots of Tobacco in this shave. Connecticut Shade is a bit on the sweet side, but followed by Trail Tobacco, and the wonderful Tobacconist, it’s a good start.

Sun 11 May 2025

• Brush: Declaration Grooming Washington Blood of Kings B3
• Razor: Koraat – r/Wetshaving exclusive Moarteen (15/16", full hollow, carbon steel)
• Lather: Catie’s Bubbles – Cape Cod Cranberry
• Post Shave: Catie’s Bubbles – Blugère

I shaved this morning, but didn’t get to post until now. CCC is a great scent, and I’m curious about its successor, Crangère.

My collection of wedges is a bit thin, though.

Mine too. I don’t even dislike them, but somehow, I’m gravitating to the hollow grinds.

Oh, I didn’t know there was a straight up grapefruit and I immediately read it as gravefruit. My bad

Oh, is this a new-to-you W&B?

Is this the OG gravefruit, the APR-SW collab?

Sat 10 May 2025

• Brush: Mühle Purist (21 mm silvertip badger, ebonite handle)
• Razor: Koraat – r/Wetshaving exclusive Moarteen (15/16", full hollow, carbon steel)
• Lather: Barrister and Mann – Le Grand Chypre
• Post Shave: Speick – Men Active

Le Grand Chypre and the freshness of Speick make for a very nice combo for a warm almost-summer day like today.
