Black Watch Morning Shave

  • Brush: Dogclaration LG 2022 Mystery Brush (B16)
  • Razor: Heljestrand MK N° 10
  • Lather: Spearhead Shaving Company Seaforth! Black Watch
  • Aftershave: Spearhead Shaving Company Seaforth! Black Watch splash
  • Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company Seaforth! Black Watch EdT

My original plan was to lean a bit more into the black theme here and use my Böker S.S. Paris Wins with the black scales but then I decided to tighten the pin a bit and did the tap-tap-klack splitting one scale 🤬. At least this seems to resolve the question whether this is a modern or a vintage: that's too brittle for a recent plastic scale. Oh well, replacement scales are ordered.

The Heljestrand is a great little shaver, too, and Black Watch is just as great as I remember it. It has this note that reminds me a bit of Cerberus, and I bet they'd work great together.

Yeah... Feels a bit stupid to break something that survived that long. I'm the other hand: new scales! 😅
