        @JoshC LOL! I would ask if that was a costume party but no one else is dressed up.

        I cant talk though, I rocked a terrible goatee at one point.

          Stumbled on this conversation and realised it intersects with another interest. The soup issue is not new and there is an answer:

              @Matt I remember asking you what cologne you were wearing on the boat trip on Hamburg? Could you share again, as I've forgotten.. some sort of oil?

                  @Matt I’ve been looking for something patchouli adjacent…have you tried their “Step Right Up”?

                    The aftershave was my first scent from there. Absolutely love it.

                      @T4920 and I were chatting about the cologne and how we like that oil based scents past longer since they don’t evaporate. The one I am using now is the Timshel and it really goes all day. Great stuff for the price.

                        @Matt I meant to ask you this in Hamburg: what’s your shaving routine, i.e. double edge razor/knife/whatever, soap/creme, any products you’ve tried either yourself or in the shop that you particularly like?

                          Thanks I think I will pick some up. I bought a hat from an Iron Heart retailer last year and it smelled awesome….patchouli ish. I reached out to them even to see what the scent might be and they just said “shop smell”..been searching for something ever since

                                @Tago-Mago same man. We had an amazing time but that’s to be expected with this group. As long as IH keeps throwing parties we’ll be there.

                                As far as my shaving routine currently it’s super basic now. I don’t baby my face whatsoever. I had a stainless steel ejection blade single edge razor but I wasn’t happy with the closeness of the shave compared to a simple Gillette 3/4/5 blade from the grocery store. I use a hemp oil Nivea for men shaving lotion that I like and the aforementioned aftershave. I shave about every 2-3 days and do it right out of a hot shower.

                                  @SKT Patchouli is my favorite scent base. I’ve yet to find the perfect blend yet though.

                                    Not Matt but re shaving, use good shaving soaps like speick or tabac, use a shaving brush to build lather (Simpsons makes good ones), and pickup something like a merkur double edged safety razor. Personally I like the slant head more than the 34hd people always recommend and polsilver blades but ymwv. Rinse face liberally with hot water and then with ice cold. Then finish with a light aftershave or toner such as the alcohol free Thayer's witch hazel with aloe or the loccitane cade if they still make it. Ill use a balm if needed but usually don't. Find anything with lots of shea if you want one like from pre de provence or again loccitane.

                                    I just don't have time to maintain my straight razors anymore but did enjoy them.

                                      @Matt so am I reading it right that you prefer the solid balm version to the spray?

                                            @EdH ive been surreptitiously growing the moustache out the past few weeks whilst trimming the rest of my facial hair down to 5mm. I could see my wife looking at me trying to suss out what looks different, but I don’t think she’s quite cottoned on. It’s been quite good as I haven’t had to fully commit to the ‘tash while I grow it. Next, I’ll go slightly shorter for the rest of the stubble and decide whether to keep it. Here’s my attempt so far, don’t have nightmares…
