Leviathan is a masterpiece. Archaic Russian leather accord, sandalwood, coffee, cedar, and musk. Sounds simple, but the sum is far greater than its parts.

Very nice, comfortable mid-afternoon shave. Le Grand Chypre is very refreshing, and Omnibus is excellent, as always.

Cheshire is perfect for a shave at zero dark thirty and the weight of the Rex Envoy helped make the shave smooth and efficient.

It will help if the blade is very thin in the last couple of millimeters at the edge. Sounds like a nice addition to your collection.

The BaM Sandalwood is deep and rich, with a lot of character to it. Perfect for a fall evening shave.

Starting tomorrow, I'm going to put in a couple of "catch-up" days, but chaos is returning in full force in about 10 days and will go through the month. It will be fun to see if I can catch up, then stay on schedule through all of that.

Obviously, it is the answer to "life, the universe, and everything".
The Red Imp needs and edge refresh.

I thought that I might have just enough time to get this shave in this evening, and I'm very happy that I didn't skip it. I always enjoy Seville. It was a great reward for making the effort to do this shave.

Yes. It is a subtle scent that comes across best to me on cool, early morning shaves. It is definitely an outdoor scent. I don't think I have another fragrance that smells like it.

I'm falling behind on BBS November's schedule due to a bit of chaos in my own routine. Wonderful shave today, though. The Sessions Series from Will has the grit and soul that you would expect. This one is amazing:
Bitter roasted coffee
Deep jammy balsam fir
Pine sap
Black salt

One of my two favorite scents from TCB:
Top Notes: Bergamot, Mandarin, Neroli, Violet Leaf, Black Currant, Pink Pepper, and Cardamom.
Heart Notes: Blue Lotus, Cypress, Palo Santo, Green Woods, and Spanish Moss.
Base Notes: Cedarwood, Patchouli, Oakmoss, Vetiver, Ambergris, Wet Earth (Petrichor), and Clean Musk
This little brush came in a Truefitt & Hill gift set. It is a killer silvertip brush. Absolutely top tier.
Veterans Day in the US. If you have served, thank you.

This one smells nice but I can never really decide what type of scent it is:
Top Notes: Pink grapefruit, Texas bluebonnet, and fresh ozone (with bright citrus and wildflower elements)
Mid Notes: Mesquite cedar, bay rum spice, peony, smoky mesquite, and boozy bourbon
Base Notes: Sandalwood, tonka bean, amber, and subtle nutty gourmand/roasted pecan and almond nuance
Between now and the end of the month, my daily schedule will be disrupted a lot. I will put in 2 shaves per day when possible.
