Nonidi 9 Brumaire an CCXXXV de la Révolution, jour de l'Alisier


This is a soap I had bought some time ago, but never used before. The scent is very mild, and the base very soft. Maybe I should leave it cure a little bit more. An ok shave, nothing to write home for, not bad either. We'll see.

Have a good night.

    • Brush: Stirling Soap Co. 24mm Synthetic
    • Razor: Gillette Atra - Handle
    • Blade: Personna Twin Pivot Plus (Atra) Cart (7)
    • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Haverford - Soap
    • Post Shave: Sketch - Bay Rum - Aftershave

    Theme justification: Haverford is a rich, intoxicating scent modeled after its namesake, Tom Haverford from Parks & Rec. Like Mr. Haverford himself, this scent kisses and tells, has questionable friends, spends more than it makes, and makes unwelcomed advances to women in the workplace. Truly mischievous.

    • Brush: Chisel & Hound Raven 26mm V26 Fanchurian
    • Razor: GEM Damaskeene CC (1912-1920)
    • Blade: Personna Gem PTFE (9)
    • Lather: Southern Witchcrafts - Samhain - Soap
    • Post Shave: Subtle Art Soap Co. - Maple Bourbon - Aftershave
    • Post Shave: Thayers - Coconut - Toner

    2 passes. Bowl lather. Excellent shave.


    Samhain is the Celtic festival marking the end of the harvest season. I figure that there was quite a bit of mischief and debauchery after the hard work of preparing for the winter months so this is my choice for today's theme.

    I have not used the GEM Damaskeene in quite a long time but, like all the GEM razors I have, it provided me with a great shave.

    I don't have a favorite post, but my favorite daily entry has typically come from u/tomorrows_LG_today. Congrats! Awesome work, and thank you for the entertainment.

    Theme: Mischief Night Day - "mischief or debauchery"... whelp, here we are. How did I get to SM + Denim ... The theme weirdly made me think of Aunt Vera in the '80s movie The Secret of My Success starring Michael J. Fox. That movie heavily relies on Yello's song Oh Yeah as Vera and others prowl around in the dark, which shows mischief and debauchery.

    Sex Machine smells like: amber. saffron. patchouli. cedar. sandalwood. musk. The intoxicating aroma hanging in the air of a sultry burlesque show.

    • Brush: Semogue - Torga C5 24mm Boar
    • Razor: EldrormR Industries MMTech
    • Blade: Wizamet Super Iridium (4)
    • Lather: Summer Break Soaps - Trouble Maker - Soap
    • Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Lavanille - Aftershave
    • Post Shave: Oleo & Co. - Facial Toner - Toner
    • Fragrance: Stirling - Christmas Eve - EdT

    Theme justification - Mischief? It's in the name!

    Relevant Post Shave or Frag - Lavanille extends and deepens the soap's lavender, with MdS quickly dominating before mixing with the warm spices and pine from Christmas Eve.

    Daily challenge - There are many posts I enjoyed this month, but I'm too damn tired tonight to dig up my favorites. I've loved the legal classes with u/mpark6288, u/brokenjaw622 killed it all month with the videos (the watermelon shave was one of my favorites), and the love story of u/bmac92 and his bucket was a beautiful thing to behold.

    $FOF - Trouble Maker is a shot of lavender and earth. Lavanille rhymes with its lavender, vanilla, Mousse de Saxe, and cedar. The splash takes the subtle TM and drags it down into the warm, spicy depths of MdS and woods.

    Christmas Eve is a bit of a departure, but its fresh evergreen, warm spices, and hint of cranberry fit nicely in the end. A surprisingly Christmas-themed shave which surprised me, I expected TM to clash more than it did.
