  • Brush: Muninn Woodworks w/AP Shave Co 24mm Titanium Synthetic

  • Blade Holder: Smart Helix Apollo (setting: 0.5mm Plate)

  • Blade: Gillette Nacet (3)

  • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Hallows - Soap

  • Aftershave: Barrister and Mann - Hallows - Aftershave

  • Fragrance: Barrister and Mann - Hallows - Eau de Toilette

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


This is one of those scents that is greater than the sum of its parts. The scent notes are vetiver, oakmoss, black pepper, cocoa, labdanum, and cedar, and the overall blend feels well-suited for fall/winter. Nothing citrus or light-floral about it. It is supposed to be reminiscent of a graveyard, or churchyard. Oddly, I kind of get that vibe from it, but there's warmth to it as well that makes it pleasing and something I'm happy to smell like until the EdT wears off.
