Sep 17, 2024 - Tea Tuesday - Silk Roads
Tea was one of the many commodities traded along the Silk Routes between the East and the West. Green tea, jasmine, and tonka bean in combination with the royal aroma of sweet honey, floral marigolds, and fragrant jasmine were an excellent pairing.

Luxury shave for work reasons.
I copied DJ because Tabac and Varen sounded good.

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
For this shave I was trying out a new edge on this razor. I created it using a Koma nagura slurry on a Black Arkansas stone. Definitely a unique feel.
Stanky evening shave with Tabac and Varen. Good times.

Excellent lather. What a great scent, too. Just sorta woody and nice.
00.00.2024 - Barberwood on the face
-> 2 pass face shave around the goatee. Two weepers in total, but a very comfortable shave regardless.
At the time of writing, there was no post in this thread. So it seems to be my duty to avoid a barren thread today!
The second use of Barberwood, this time on the face... but with better hydrated lather today! I'm still a bit rusty when it comes to face lathering, but it's getting better. Today's brush is possibly my favourite for the even spread of lather it can achieve, so that helped a lot.
This time the soap smelt a bit sweeter, similar to my other HAGS Creatures of the Night . Performance was way better though, the lather was very slick and also hydrated my skin well. The toner continues to impress on the face, as it really feels rich enough that I didn't feel the need for a balm. Since my skin is sensitive and dry in the jaw area, that's rare!
I now have an interesting barbershop scent to compare tomorrow's BVWSC soap against - really looking forward to tomorrow's shave!
