  • Brush: Wald Stratos Haunter 29mm A1

  • Razor: River Razor 14 8/8" Full Hollow

  • Lather: WestMan Shaving - Nirvana - Soap

  • Post Shave: WestMan Shaving - Nirvana - Aftershave Balm

  • Post Shave: Thayers - Lavender - Toner

  • Talc: Pinaud Clubman


It is a WestMan Wednesday and my first use of Nirvana. Nirvana is a blend of fig, sandalwood, and other notes. It is subtle, very comforting, and a very pleasing scent to have filling the room. This soap also has the new Nirvana soap base. I did not want to shave it off. It is rich, smooth, very slick, and also very easy to lather. Another top-tier entry for me. A wonderful morning shave that rated a talc finish.
