Grooming and Hygiene

[zhivago]

From O'Douds I went with the Traditional Heavy Pomade
From Shear Revival I grabbed Gray Ghost, Gel Pomade, Crystal Lake and the texture spray.

I forgot to mention I have also been trying out Modern Pirate, not blown away but the scents are nice and organic ingredients mostly. Not a huge fan of the washability of it, but that's more my OCD than actual performance I think

Tell me how ya like the gray.ghost @zhivago , I thought it was great.  I was interested in the gel pomade, I'd be curious how.you think it compares to the cream.  Sounds like a great haul

[Matt]

I love the Gray Ghost. They just released a collab with their Canadian retailer of it with a mango coconut based scent. They sold out on their site but the Can retailer may still have some.

Crystal Lake is one of my all time favorites but I don’t care for the newest scent.  The previous scent was my absolute favorite.

[Joberwocky]

Is the mango one the toucan trading Collab?  I might have to look into that

[Matt]

Correct.  It sounds pretty badass.  I have too much stuff now otherwise I’d consider getting some.

[Joberwocky]

I can't find it on their site @Matt , I suspect it's sold out

[Matt]

@Joberwocky go to the Toucan Trading home page and keep scrolling down.

[Joberwocky]

Haha, thanks @Matt I scrolled though all the haircare and didn't see it, woulda never just scrolled down on the homepage

Edit: darn, I want it, but the $27 is a hard pill to swallow

[Matt]

No sweat.  If you get it let me know about the smell.  It sounds awesome.  If scents aren’t a big driver for you check out Nostalgic Grooming.  They have some pretty crazy scents like Fruit Loops and Orange Soda that are really cool.

Yeah, it was $18 on the SR site.  Canadian markup I guess.

[Joberwocky]

For me on the SR site, I woulda nabbed some oil or beard care at the same time and hit the free shipping threshold.

[Matt]

The regular Gray Ghost is still very good.  I also love the American Gardens clay.  Very strong hold with a nice matte finish and a clean wash out.

[Matt]

If anyone’s looking for a really good aftershave I highly recommend Madame Scodioli.  They have a bunch of scent profiles.  I’ve used Step Right Up and it’s dope af.  I got an email from them today that they have a new line of beard oils out.  Im currently unbearded but I’m sure it’s amazing.

[Joberwocky]

I've been looking for a killer new beard oil @Matt as I'm working towards being my best bearded self again, may just have to check that out.  If I get some I'll be sure to post about it

The Ad Astra tonic has espresso in the scent, I'm immediately 50% sold 

[Matt]

Yeah, don’t hesitate.  If the beard oil is anything like the aftershave it should be killer.

So after reading through I decided to order some gray ghost and northern lights. Should come in the next day or two. I looked at the Canadian toucan limited run stuff but damn they wanted a ton to ship it.

I also grabbed some firsthand clay. That just came today seems really cool! Should get to use some tomorrow

Tell me how ya like the gray ghost, it's money

[kkibbey23]

Those of you who wanted that limited run shear removal stuff but shipping was too much…..

I reached out to toucan supply, they added a free shipping option to USA if you spend over 55cad

I’ve got some coming my way[emoji41]

Damn solid deal

[Matt]

That was smart, nice work.

I’m using this today.  One of my favorites.  This is a special addition, I don’t know what the regular scent is but I love this one too much to try it.  It’s currently on sale so I strongly recommend it.

Using this Shear Revival comb.  Also a fave for me…
