This soap was featured in The Great Spice Off #19 and Adventus Calendar day 12.

The scent on this sample has faded quite a bit. It's a nice hard base though. @cowzilla3 tracked down who made this for Stone Field Shaving: Purely Skinful Handmade Essentials. SFS doesn't mention № 37 anymore and I haven't found an outlet for PSHE. Maybe it's a local shop in Thedford, ON? Worth checking out if you can.

Have a good one.

20. September 2026

• Brush: AP Shave Co. 30 mm Tuxedo Fan knot w/ Black & Clear handle
• Razor: Leaf Thorn
• Razor: Razorock Hawk V2, Superknurl handle
• Blade: Derby Premium
• Blade: KAI Protouch MG
• Lather: Wickham Soap Co. - Magnum
• Post Shave: Bali Gents - Skin Revival Spray
• Post Shave: Zingari Man - The Master

2 passes on both head and on the face (except circle beard area). Leaf on the dome, Hawk on the face. A bit of minor bleeding on the face, but overall a nice shave.

For the last day off, I decided on a little wellness ritual for myself. Of course a good shave should be part of that too - so this came to fruition.

Wickhams Magnum has such a comfortable scent, it reminds me of some fancy bath salts. Perfect for a wellness shave. Despite this being a veg shaving soap (IIRC?) it had great cushion in the lather. The second pass on my face is where some tiny weepers appeared, I can only speculate why; most likely it's due to me trying to get the edges of the circle beard too perfect and using too much pressure due to that. Thanks to ZMs Rescue Potion, the bleeding stopped.

Tomorrow it's back to work. Originally I was scheduled for the late shift, but got a call on Friday - now I need to do early shift because we lack staff there. Unfortunate for me, but I'm willing to help wherever I can. Hope everyone here has a wonderful Sunday!

• Lather: Catie's Bubbles - Maggard Razors 2026 Meetup - Soap
• Post Shave: Sketch - Bay Rum - Aftershave

Nice travel shave at the end of a busy weekend!

Despite having a couple of new soaps to try, I decided to stick with the C_bubs sample from this year's Maggard Meetup. One or two more shaves and it'll be toast.

1st pass WTG, 2nd pass XTG, 3rd pass ATG. DFS. Happy with how this ATG pass went :) could have been a bit more aggressive I suppose, but it feels like a veeeeery thin line... For now I am satisfied to err on the side of caution.

• Razor: GEM G-Bar
• Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (4)
• Lather: Whole Hog - Thorn and Hummingbird - Soap
• Post Shave: Whole Hog - Unscented - Aftershave

Bonus shave. New to me razor, soap, and aftershave.

I got an excellent lather from this pre-launch soap, and the Aftershave Tonic seems to work great with my skin.

September 20, 2026

• Brush: Chisel & Hound Classic 26mm V23 Fanchurian
• Razor: EldrormR Industries MM24
• Blade: Personna Gem PTFE (8)
• Lather: Adopted Acres - Dusty Leigh's Tonsorial Parlor - Soap

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

The combination of this Mid-Ohio Wetshavers special soap, the MM24, and this well-used badger brush made for a memorable shave. u/EldrormR, I enjoyed finally meeting you in person. I don't use this great razor of yours enough.
