Today seemed as good a day as any to try out Talent Soap Factory.

Thanks to /u/tsrblke for sending this sample to me.

Gotta admit, this stuff smells like money. I struggled with the base, though, but that often happens the first time you use something.

To the moon!

    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


Great shave today. Very close and comfortable. I haven't used this Koraat near wedge in quite a while, and I admit that the r/wetshaving Koraat exclusive was on my mind today. Blugère is so unique. Simply one of the great scents of wetshaving.

Day 11 of the TSF Domination era. Ngl it's kinda wild how many people are actively hoping TSF specifically gets KO'd from March Madness. Y'all petty haters lol.

Otherwise a pleasant shave with my wife's favorite scent. Let's go Stirling!

I really like seeing Catie’s Bubbles get recognition. Well deserved.

Fri 21 Mar 2025: Day 11 of March Madness

  • Brush: Declaration Grooming Washington Blood of Kings B3
  • Razor: Filarmónica 14 Doble Temple (8/8", extra full hollow, carbon steel)
  • Lather: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! Spiced
  • Post Shave: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! Spiced
  • Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! Spiced

I'm voting again for Spearhead, and I'm curious whether today marks TSF's demise.

This is my first use of the B3, and I'm happy that the 24 mm size is perfectly fine. I can tell I'll get along very well with it.
