PORTHOS - New From Wet The Face

Introducing Porthos – A New Addition to the Three Musketeers Shaving Soap series from Wet The Face. Bold. Spirited. Unapologetically daring. loud, brash, and self-important. He is extremely vain and enjoys outfitting himself handsomely,

Inspired by the larger-than-life musketeer known for his strength, charm, and boundless appetite for adventure. This fragrance is a tribute to the man who lived every moment with flair and fire.

The scent opens with the fresh green snap of grass, laced with the crisp brightness of bergamot—a breath of open fields and unbridled freedom. A cool breeze of eucalyptus follows, sharpening the senses and lending clarity, like a duel at dawn. The heart of the scent reveals warm balsam and rich leather, grounding you in confidence and courage. Finally, deep patchouli notes linger, evoking a noble earthiness that endures long after the blade is set down.

Porthos is for the man who laughs loudly, lives fully, and shaves like a musketeer.

All for one—and one smooth shave for all.

Shaving With Unforgettable

One of my favorite scents is Wet the Face, unforgettable. It's right up there with Thomas Shelby Signature scent. When it was first released, it sold out in 2 hours. I still can't get enough of it. This amazing scent is a woody blend of tobacco, amber, and oud, complemented by fresh notes of mandarin and bergamot.

The aftershave was the perfect ending to this shave, enhancing the scent to last a few hours past the shave was perfect.

Also, in this YouTube video, I saw a few movies and a new Netflix series, which are the following: Novicaine, Black Bag, Kinds of Kindness, Black Mirror Season 7

Quick Shave & Goodbye

This was taking place on Easter Sunday:

Feeling quite fatigued from today’s activities, I desire a brief shave to enable me to retire to bed promptly and awaken at 4:00 AM for Monday’s work schedule. I have chosen the Nancy Boy Signature scent shaving cream, which I intend to apply to my fingertips and gently massage into my beard.

If you were not aware, Nancy Boy has bid farewell to the Wet shaving community. Their establishment closed its doors in April, marking a significant loss. This particular shaving cream stands out as one of the most exceptional shaving creams I have ever utilized, exhibiting remarkable qualities in all aspects.

Let's Try The Pacific Shaving Company

Today, I'm going back 7 years to the Pacific Shaving Company, and if you've never heard of them, listen up. 

Pacific Shaving Company has garnered attention for its innovative approach to men's grooming, particularly with its caffeinated shaving cream and aftershave. These products aim to enhance the shaving experience by incorporating naturally-derived caffeine, known for its antioxidant properties and potential to reduce redness and irritation.​

Caffeinated Shaving Cream

This shaving cream is designed to invigorate your morning routine. The inclusion of caffeine serves as a vasoconstrictor, which can help reduce the appearance of redness and razor burn. The formula is enriched with organic aloe, shea butter, sunflower seed oil, and spearmint essential oil, providing a soothing and refreshing experience. Users have praised its ability to lather easily and provide a smooth shave, with some noting its effectiveness even on sensitive skin. The product is vegan, paraben-free, and made in the USA, aligning with a commitment to natural and safe ingredients. ​

Polly Gray - New From Wet The Face

Introducing our new addition to our shaving soaps from the Shelby Shaving Company,

The fourth offering in this series is Polly Gray. The late Helen McCrory plays Polly Gray, one of the most compelling characters in Peaky Blinders. As the matriarch of the Shelby family and treasurer of the Peaky Blinders gang, she is a formidable and intelligent woman who often acts as the voice of reason in the gang’s chaos.

Polly is fiercely protective of her family, especially her nephew, Tommy Shelby, and her son, Michael Gray. She was the one who kept the Shelby business running while the men were away fighting in World War I. Polly is known for her sharp wit, unwavering confidence, and ability to navigate the dangerous world of organized crime. However, she also carries deep emotional scars, particularly from the loss of her children to the foster system and her struggles with faith and morality.

Let's Shave With Proraso

Today I use shaving soap which I always pronounce wrong, so I won't say it, but it's called Proarso Red. I also used the plastic tub it comes in to load the brush and then do a face lather. This method never fails, and what a lather it makes. Some people have a problem with the scent, but I find it very pleasant. It goes on thick and rich, providing complete coverage, and the slickness and glide are always ready to help the shave along. The post-shave feels fantastic and is ready for an aftershave.

This week I only had time for one movie, which is Talk to Me (2023) is a supernatural horror film from A24, directed by Danny and Michael Philippou. The story follows a group of teenagers who discover they can communicate with spirits using a mysterious embalmed hand. When they hold the hand and say, "Talk to me," they allow a spirit to possess them for a short time, providing an intense and thrilling experience. However, when one of them breaks the rules and stays connected for too long, a terrifying chain of events is set into motion, leading to horrifying consequences.

Shaving With Brutis

If you ever wanted to shave with the scent of Brut, then Burtis is the shaving soap for you. I tried to make this as close to the original scent as possible, and I think I succeeded. Along with its great scent, this soap has lots of lather, and the post-shave feel is fantastic.

The one thing that is missing is the big bar soap, I think it was called soap on a rope. I'm going to try to make this. I'm not sure I will make it on a rope, but the bar will be big.

Two Netflix shows I watched were The Residence and Toxic Town.
