    • Brush: Zenith 506B MB (27 mm × 51 mm Manchurian badger)
    • Razor: Wolfman Satin WR1 dual comb 0.74 mm gap head on hollow WRH1 handle
    • Blade: Feather new Hi-Stainless
    • Lather: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! Leather
    • Post Shave: Hâttric – Classic
    • Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! Leather

    I picked up Hâttric on a whim yesterday. It's a heavy, old-feeling musky citrus scent. I think I like it, and it plays well with leather, but the combo is pretty old-school.

    Yesterday's matchup seems to have kicked out CGC. Bummer

      Sounds perfect to one who is decidedly old school :)

    Great lather and a nice mild scent. I very much enjoyed shaving with this soap, but would have enjoyed a slightly stronger scent.

    I also loaded too much soap, making it harder to get the water level right. Next time, I think I need to try with about half as much soap.

    Overall, it was a really great shave.

    • Brush: Wald Nimbus Bloodline 27mm J3
    • Razor: Dovo Bismarck 6/8" Full Hollow Round Point
    • Lather: 345 Soaps - Undercut - Soap
    • Aftershave: 345 Soaps - Undercut - Aftershave

    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


    This is the first day of the 2025 Formula 1 season, so Undercut gets the call. Great soap and scent. This was also a shave test of a new Jnat edge that I put on the Bismarck last night. The razor had not been honed in close to a year. It took an excellent edge. I had a very close, and comfortable shave.
