2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


Even though it is a fougère Friday, I was in the mood for the refreshing scent of Roman Spice. This was a very quick shave, but totally enjoyable.

Nice shave! This razor is still quite usable but once I have some motivation I’m going to rub it on a 10k to freshen it up.

A nice citrus-forward shave. I'm very glad I picked up El Cantinero.

🫐 Fri 11 Jul 2025 🫐

  • Brush: Chisel and Hound – Flame On with v26 Fanchurian
  • Razor: Blutt Rasur – BR-1 (0.99 mm gap)
  • Blade: Feather – new Hi-Stainless
  • Lather: Catie's Bubbles – Crangère
  • Post Shave: Catie's Bubbles – Crangère
  • Fragrance: Catie's Bubbles – LegenBerry

I finally got around to trying LegenBerry, and this one sparks joy! I love the fresh, slightly tart aspect of Blugère, and while I enjoy the warmer Crangère, it is improved IMO by a little bit of Blu. Just lovely!

Chris let me sniff the Crangère and Legenberry fragrances at the Maggard Meetup. I preferred Legenberry. I mentioned that I wasn’t getting much cranberry from Crangère. Chris thought that was because I was expecting more of a candied cranberry. That might be true. My recollection of large swampy bogs of cranberries in Massachusetts is more bog than berry.

I think I'm with you. Crangère is nice, but Blugère and LegenBerry are extraordinary (IMO, MOIMO, etc)
