Theme: A Case of the Mondays - for today's theme, I reached into the sell-or-pif pile and pulled Havana. The base is good and gives a nice shave. I don't really like the scent. I tried to like it but it didn't work out. I'm using the set for maximum relevance. I'm adding in Tabac Man, which totally works (low scent + not low scent; Havana that has some of the best Tabac-o in the world + Tabac).

Pitch: Do strong scented soaps upset your nose or tickle your sensitivities? Are you tired of unscented soaps? Not so with Havana! It's scent is so low you'll probably not be irritated and you won't be bored. This is a quality artisan tallow based soap. It's matching aftershave has about the same level of scent and a low level of alcohol. And it Shaves!

Daily Challenge: PIF IT! HA! "No loopholes." Nice try Lather Games Overlords. It can't be a PIF if I get something for it. And you want me to just make a post in r/wetshaving for this supposed PIF? I'd get smited by the mods for not using the generated posts for such things. Sheesh!

• Brush: Zenith - B03-A26 (B2) 26mm Boar
• Razor: EldrormR Industries MM24
• Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (6)
• Lather: Williams - Mug Soap - Soap
• Post Shave: Aqua Velva - Musk - Aftershave
• Post Shave: Dove - Men+Care Ultra-Hydra - Cream
• Fragrance: House of Mammoth - Santa Noir - EdP

This stuff sucks! Here's why I love it:

1. It's easy to lather. The trick is just load it and go. Don't spend any time making it "nice" or "good" because you'll just ruin it.
2. It used to be cheap. Like stupid cheap. Now it's unobtanium, I guess.
3. It is serviceable. It works.
4. The scent fades over time, so now instead of a strong citronella smell, it's a mild citronella smell. Win!

Well done!

October 12th, 2026: A Case of the Mondays

• Brush: Chisel & Hound "Ultramarine" - Chisel & Hound Soot Sprite 26mm Synthetic
• Razor: Star Model 100
• Blade: Personna Platinum Chrome (5)
• Lather: Stirling - Executive Man - Soap
• Post Shave: Saponificio Varesino - Cosmo - Aftershave
• Post Shave: Oleo & Co. - Facial Toner - Toner
• Fragrance: Zingari Man - El Cantinero - EdP

Theme justification - I don't like Executive Man. It's too generic cologne for me, I just find it boring.

But, it's Stirling so the base is fantastic and I got an awesome shave.

Relevant Post Shave or Frag - Cosmo is relevant to the soap as a continuation of the aquatic vibe.

$FOF - Executive Man has a nice initial hit of citrus (before turning into generic male cologne), which Cosmo picks up and extends nicely with it's citrus, vetiver, and other woods.

El Cantinero ended the shave with bright lime, grapefruit, and a hint of briny salinity. A lovely, refreshing shave in the end.
