An excellent shave with minimal irritation. I really love the scent and performance of SSL.
I’m still not sure about this knot. It definitely doesn’t immediately impress me like the Quartermoon did. It’s more difficult to splay, which I guess means it has more backbone? I did set it about as high as I could to hopefully minimize this.
Either way, the bristles are plenty soft. Feels much nicer than the Yaqi synthetic I was using previously.
Have a great Friday y’all!

- Fragrance: Berceuce - Allegretto 7.2 – EdP
Nice lather. I don’t know why, but it took me years to figure out that I shouldn’t add too much water to Tusk. It excels in a thicker state. This soap is probably 3 years old. It was part of the initial batch under the HoM/Vida partnership. There were tons of complaints at the time about it being lightly scented, and future batches had more fragrance added.
Maybe all of the complaints were right, or maybe some soaps do lose scent over time. Either way, this one is very light.
Speaking of which, Allegretto 7.2 is pretty nice but not in my wheelhouse. It doesn’t seem to last very long, either. Good if you don’t want to be smelled except by people laying on top of you.
