  • Brush: Semogue Owner's Club (cherry wood and boar) (39)
  • Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur 17 (NOS, 7/8", hollow ground, stainless steel)
  • Lather: Barrister and Mann – Reserve Classic
  • Post Shave: Mäurer & Wirtz Tabac Original
  • Fragrance: Mäurer & Wirtz Tabac Original

The reserve base is really fantastic and didn't need to be replaced. Great stanky Sunday shave.

I kind of think that most bases work just fine. There seems to be incentive to offer something new to get customers to return to the brand. It will be interesting to see how long Will stays with Omnibus. He said it would be the last one. In the case of Sri, I think his Crème Fraîche base is actually less expensive for him to produce. It feels different from Siero, and I think it is also top tier, but it's not necessarily "better".

I mostly agree. It's just that reserve feels effortless.

He said it would be the last one.

And then he brought us veggiebus😄

Crème Fraîche base

Still haven't used that one. Some day...
