- Brush: Wild West Brushworks – Copper Shadow with Timberwolf knot
- Razor: Ever-Ready Streamline
- Blade: Personna GEM PTFE
- Lather: Catie’s Bubbles – Reflection
- Post Shave: Catie’s Bubbles – Reflection
I really enjoy the CB premium base, and Reflection has a slightly (and weirdly delicious) acrid note that I can’t place, but that I recognise in Armonía, too. Nice evening shave puzzle.
It’s Magic! Fou Fri 08 Nov 2024
I’ve planned a run through all Spearhead scents over the next few days (It’s going to be a trickholecentric week for me), and I’m starting with soft, powdery Heather. Looking at my tower of Spearhead tubs, I’m a bit taken aback by how many of them were absolute hits for me. My least favourite one is Roman Spice, and I really like that one too 😄. I remember my first use of Heather was also my first time competing in the Lather Games four years ago. Good memories. This scent manages to be green and lively without any of the sharp edges of a Fougère Classique, Brut, or Varen. Just happy, butter smooth, vernal green.
Today’s shave was a bit too early for my taste, so using a childproof extra mild Hydro-magic was fitting. The slightly scrubby Manchurian knot in this Zenith is perfection. No notes.
