That is nice. Of course, I've gone in a completely different direction and decided I need a Floris 89 trifecta in my collection. The incentive is that I will have to live to 200 in order to kill all my soaps :)

I’m becoming less and less a fan of menthol and WS-23 in soaps and splashes
I'm with you on this one. I find myself using Mammoth far less often because the soap reminds me of the matching splash even if I don't use the splash.
Hell yeah! Very nice Puma! They are workhorses. I'm holding off on a Second Luxury Shave™ until next month.
Here is a photo that has my brush in it. The brush has more backbone than most of my badger brushes but it has soft tips. I really like this combination of features. Because I have Walds, C&H, Doglaration, Brad Sears, and others, this one does not get used enough.
I admit that I haven't been paying attention very much on the sub and haven't seen the Marlborough propaganda, but certainly the sub has its trends. I purposely avoided the Proraso Red train, but fell victim to the Mammoth Mafia. Then there are those who constantly promote Tabac 😉

I'm on theme with a Sheffield razor and a totally British setup today. Very enjoyable shave! Makes me want to return to London and visit the shops.
Well, TNeV is one of the absolute greats IMO.
Of course! I should know better. Once you have the catchy name, there's nothing to stop you! :)

Aftershave: Wholly Kaw - Hiatus - Aftershave
2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Today is picture perfect in Maryland. Time for Hiatus. This is more of a summer scent, but it fit perfectly for today. The Le Grelot was my first modern razor purchase and it is still a pleasure to use. Excellent weight and balance in this razor.
Oh! Great photo! Gave me the idea that the next sub exclusive should be a Tabac brush ( since Tabac is universally liked ;-) ), and a Tabac straight razor.
Great setup! Is JGT another great tea scent for shaving? Noble Otter already has TNeV; a tea scent that would be hard to top.
Good for him!
