    Fake Yellow Leather Mon 04 Nov 2024

    • Brush: Chisel and Hound – Ambrosia Maple with 26 mm synthetic Maggard knot
    • Razor: GEM Micromatic Flying Wing (NOS, chrome plated)
    • Blade: Personna GEM PTFE
    • Lather: House of Mammoth – Almond Leather
    • Post Shave: Declaration Grooming – Fake Yellow Light

    These two scents work so well together, perfect for a second luxury MicroMatic Mammoth Monday shave. For a morning shave, I’d have added Gratiot League Square frag, but that would be a bit much right now. It’s a pity that Almond Leather was discontinued, but seeing how Ben really excels at creating new fragrances, this is easy to get over.

    I’m really enjoying the return to GEM razors these days. Maybe I will do a complete GEM tour from 1912 to Contour II this month. Although that’s always a bit unsatisfying because it starts with a crescendo and ends with a whimper.

    I also haven used this fluted C&H brush in a while. I’m considering pulling the knot and replacing it with a v25 Fanchurian. I just don’t enjoy this synth knot so much anymore, but I love this handle.
