    Light and Dark

    • Brush: Zenith r/Wetshaving exclusive MOAR BOAR (31 mm × 57 mm bleached boar)
    • Razor: Mühle R41 GT Berlin edition
    • Blade: Personna Platinum
    • Lather: Highland Springs Soap Co / Australian Private Reserve Eclipse
    • Aftershave: Echt Kölnisch Wasser N° 4711
    • Fragrance: Imaginary Authors Sundrunk
    • Talc: Borotalco

    When I saw this Echt Kölnisch Wasser N° 4711 aftershave, I was reminded that a while back, u/USS-SpongeBob made his own 𝕊ℍ𝔸𝕍𝔼⭐𝔻𝔸ℕ𝔻𝕐 4711 Homebrew Aftershave a while back by cutting Cologne with some skin food ingredients. I doubt that my splash is as good for the skin as his, but it has that nice Kölnisch Wasser scent that lasts about 27 seconds. It definitely passes as a light scent (together with Sundrunk) for today’s Theme Thursday theme, and Eclipse is the aptly named dark scent.

    Effortless BBS with the titanium R41 (that thing is underrated), and silky smooth finish with Korotalco.

    • Brush: Elite Razor Neo-resinate 26mm Mother Lode

    • Razor: Parker 510 13/16" Square Point Full Hollow

    • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Hallows - Soap

    • Toner: Thayers - Lemon - Toner

    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

    It’s really not the season for Hallows but it was wet and dreary here this morning and I was just feeling it. Will has a way with these dark, moody scents. This one’s a winner for me.

    Light and Dark II, Unfortunate Luxury Edition

    • Brush: Boti Laminate brush with Motherlode knot
    • Razor: Mühle R41 GT Berlin edition
    • Blade: Personna Platinum
    • Lather: Geo.F. Trumper Rose
    • Aftershave: Pitralon Swiss version

    I saw @sahenders@sub.wetshaving.social Figarose SOTD today and it reminded me that I had been neglecting my Rose cream. Djunior’s bath time supervision was the perfect moment to rectify this sad state of affairs. I was in the middle of a delicately light rose scented second pass when Djunior decided to add his own dark scent in the form of a floater. Oh well, can’t win them all.
