October 23rd, 2026: Fougere Friday

Brush: Grizzly Bay - Chisel & Hound v24 Fanchurian 26mm Badger
Razor: Schick M32
Blade: Ted Pella Injector (3)
Lather: Wholly Kaw - Fougère Mania - Soap
Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Red Letter Day - Aftershave
Post Shave: Oleo & Co. - Facial Toner - Toner
Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Heather - EdT

Theme justification - It's in the name.

Relevant Post Shave or Frag - Heather is the most relevant, being explicitly a fougere.

Daily challenge - Yo check out my stack.

$FOF - Fougère Mania is Brut with a bit of neroli on top. Powdery lavender, hay, and the musk underneath are all there, but the neroli gives it a twist.

Red Letter Day had no business being here. The vanilla lined up well enough with the sweetness in the lather, so the transition felt smooth. The bergamot slowly taking over the brightening role played by the soap's neroli. Then the leather arrives and the shave stops being a fougère at all.

Heather brought the lavender and oakmoss again, but cool, anisic, and outdoorsy where Fougère Mania is warm and indoors. It’s one of my favorite Seaforth scents, I just wish it lasted longer on my skin.
