June 20th, 2025: Non-Complimentary

  • Brush: Stirling Soap Co. 24mm Synthetic
  • Blade: Personna Twin Pivot Plus (Atra) Cart (2)
  • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Roam Two - Soap
  • Post Shave: Old Spice - Original - Aftershave

Theme justification: Roam Two has a sharp grass/hay theme to it. According to this review, grass, thyme, sage, and blackcurrant are the main players. This makes it less mellow and more kablamlow. Roam Two is a new, hip, reimagined take on the original Roam. Old Spice, conversely, is warm, mellow, and overall pleasant. A crowd pleaser. So they're very different, but do they clash? I'll leave that for the judges to decide.
