November 2, 2024

  • Brush: Elite Razor Neo-resinate 26mm Mother Lode
  • Blade Holder: Tatara Muramasa (setting: 3)
  • Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock SharpEdge (Yellow) (2)
  • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Amazelnut - Soap
  • Toner: Thayers - Lavender - Toner
  • Aftershave: Noble Otter - Cerberus - Aftershave

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


BaM has such a great catalogue of darker, warmer scents it's easy to overlook Amazelnut. I certainly did. I bought Amazelnut and Leviathan at the same time. I was so impressed with Leviathan that I went though a tub of it within a year of its purchase. This meant that I neglected a number of soaps during that time, and among them was Amazelnut. This one is more subtle and refined. I don't see a lot of it come up on the sub, but maybe it deserves more attention than it gets.

Motherlode 🍻. When you just want a big lather pillow

When you just want a big lather pillow

I've been looking for another brush handle that will go with the Motherlode knot, or a Motherlode knot in different colors. They are a wonderful change of pace.
