    The Thu 17 Apr 2025

    • Brush: Zenith – r/Wetshaving exclusive MOAR BOAR (31 mm × 57 mm bleached boar)
    • Razor: Koraat – r/Wetshaving exclusive Moarteen (15/16", full hollow, carbon steel)
    • Lather: Stirling Soap Co – Varen
    • Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co – Varen
    • Fragrance: Stirling Soap Co – Varen

    Varen is one of those scents that make a lot of sense trickholing since it overpowers most other scents rather than playing nice. Possibly something like BaM Fougère Classique or Fern could hold its own, though, so I might try that for tomorrow’s Fougère Friday.

    Using Varen with the sub-exclusive brush and razor felt like a preview to upcoming green-in-green SOTDs when our own exclusive Stirling soap lands, and it has the added benefit of being on theme.

    Razor gud, lather not as good as I wanted but perfectly serviceable. Wanted to stay on @BossHoggins10@sub.wetshaving.social’s suggested theme today so I went with green soap (Dr. K’s Peppermint shave soap), green razor (MOARteen), and green splash (Proraso green).

    What I can say about the razor: it’s sharp enough to shave comfortably, the tang is plenty grippy even without jimping due to the rough finish, which was honestly an apprehension of mine, and even though the blade is a relatively large format at 15/16, the grind makes it lighter than I expected while being very stiff feeling.
