Theme: Shave and a Haircut - a barber in a ghost town works at a ghost barbershop. I'm using the set and pairing it with Brut EdC, because it smells barbershop-y to me. FTFM:

The wild west may be long gone, but its memory still lingers in the ghost town’s barbershop. This is a classic barbershop scent with a western twist – main notes being bergamot, basil leaf, white patchouli, oakmoss, texas cedar, leather, smoke, and gunpowder.

October 6th, 2026

• Brush: Semogue - 1800 Boar
• Razor: Star Double Edge
• Blade: Personna P74 (13)
• Lather: Noble Otter - BarrBarr - Soap
• Post Shave: Noble Otter - Hamami - Aftershave

Killed this old sample from way back in 2020. I think it was u/OnionMiasma who put together these sample packs of Noble Otter and Declaration Grooming. As a new wetshaver it really helped introduce me to some classics, like this BarrBarr. It's a barbershop scent. Theme accomplished.

October 6th, 2026: Shave and a Haircut

• Brush: Zenith - MOAR BOAR (r/wetshaving exclusive) 31mm Boar
• Razor: Koraat Moarteen (15/16", full hollow, square point, r/wetshaving exclusive) (1)
• Lather: Catie's Bubbles - Tonsorium - Soap
• Post Shave: Denim - Original - Aftershave
• Post Shave: Oleo & Co. - Facial Toner - Toner
• Fragrance: Chiseled Face - Ghost Town Barber - EdP

Theme justification - According to the tub, Tonsorium is a "citrusy barbershop style scent."

Relevant Post Shave or Frag - Ghost Town Barber is a barbershop-style fragrance.

Daily challenge - I'll be back later with memes.

$FOF - All three share bergamot and oakmoss.

Tonsorium is a different take on Tonsorial Parlour, which CB built around the idea of a Victorian barbershop. Bergamot, litsea, and petitgrain on top of lavender, geranium, and oakmoss. The premium base, as always, was stupid slick.

Denim Original is from ~1976, a cheap mass-market chypre: bergamot, clary sage, and petitgrain over frankincense, amber, vetiver, and oakmoss. I don't think it was ever marketed as a barbershop scent, but it definitely suits theme of the shave.

Ghost Town Barber is Chiseled Face's "wild west" barbershop. Again with bergamot and oakmoss, but the lavender is gone and the base is Texas cedar, leather, smoke, and gunpowder. GTB was my first artisan soap and really started some of my wetshaving thrill. I'm glad to still have a bottle of the frag around.

No Zingari Zischtig today, but a sample kill. RIP Ribalta. I rather liked the soap, but I will not buy a full tub (at least: for the moment).

Have a good night!
