November 13, 2024 - WestMan Wednesday

  • Brush: Chisel & Hound Classic 26mm V23 Fanchurian

  • Blade Holder: Blackland Razors Blackbird Ti

  • Blade: Personna Lab Blue (11)

  • Lather: WestMan Shaving - Nirvana - Soap

  • Aftershave: WestMan Shaving - Nirvana - Aftershave Balm

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


It never hurts to start the day in a state of Nirvana. I think WestMan is somewhat overlooked. The soap base is very nice, especially for straight razor shaving, and the scents I've tried are unique and well done.

I think WestMan is somewhat overlooked.

I totally agree. WestMan makes some really great products. In general, european artisans are somewhat overlooked due to them being rather quiet in the marketing front (HAGS being the exception there). WestMan's soap base, as well as the one by José/Los Jabones de Joserra is very creamy, rich and thick while retaining great slickness. Top notch stuff 👍🏻
