SOTD - 8/5/2026

Geo F. Trumper Sandalwood
Alpha Shaving Works Guido Brass Open Comb
Grizzly Bay Brush - Fanchurian Badger 30mm

From the Geo F. Trumper website:

Mystery and sensuality smoulder beneath the velvet layers of our Sandalwood Cologne made using natural sandalwood oil from the Mysore region of India, whilst woody warm murmurs exude the suggestion of pepper and spicy notes from its sumptuous depths. The opulence of this sacred scent pays homage to the steely, masculine form.

A truly masculine and luxurious scent.

Base Notes – Sandalwood, Amber, Patchouli, Vanilla

Middle Notes – White Jasmin, Carnation, Geranium, Rose, Tonka Bean

Top Notes – Bergamot, Lemon, Lavender, Clarysage

New Scent Wednesday!

I very much enjoy the soap base of House of Mammoth shave soap. Hygge just restocked and I have been looking forward to getting it, it arrived yesterday. I have Alive and Sonder soaps and they are great. I have gotten some other scent samples that were not in my wheelhouse. Hygge is clearly a Barbershop style and I like it.

Proraso pre-shave, Omega EVO, Timeless Ti .95, Tatra Platinum, Omega alum, HoM Hygge soap, balm, and EDP super smooth shave.

Hi Friends,

Here my Wednesday Shave (05.08.2026)

IMG_0690.jpeg
Razor: Rockwell 6S // Blade: Dorco Prime Platinum // Soap: SV Felce Aromatica // Brush: Nightdiver´s Manufactory // Aftershave: Paco Rabanne Pour Homme

Oh what a fine shave this was. The Paco Rabanne matched SO well with scent of the soap that is was a pure bliss. Spicy in the beginning and lots a Lavender after a few minutes. Lather was rich, slick and cushiony. The Rockwell did it´s part on plate 3 fantastic. Smooth, gentle and efficient.

10 out of 10

Have a great time, enjoy your shaves and stay safe and healthy.

Greetings
Thorsten
