  • Prep: Shower
  • Brush: Badlands Shaving Co. W/ AP Shave Co G5C 26mm
  • Razor: GEM G-Bar
  • Blade: GEM PTFE
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Haverford
  • Post Shave: Neutrogena Hydro-Boost Gel Cream
  • Fragrance: Tokyomilk Bulletproof
  • Whiskers: Jojoba/Argan w/Tea Tree Oil

Tub loaded and face lathered today. The G5C feels pretty nice for face lathering. Been quite a while since I posted a SOTD. Wetshaving was only on Reddit then.

Welcome! And welcome back :)

Did you buy Haverford recently? It wasn't available for a little while because Stirling couldn't get the fragrance anymore, but now it's back and I'm curious if it's any different. It's supposed to be the same but I haven't read any reviews.

[โ€“] FWAaron@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes, I bought it very shortly after it came back. It smells the same to me. If I understand the situation correctly, it's supposedly from the same producer, but a different wholesaler? I've seen some people mention they think it seems weaker now and I don't think so, mine seems fine strength wise.

Cool, good to know. I need a tub of that in my life.
