The Knights of the Veg Table - An Honor Roll Call for the Chosen

[Darth Scandalous]

I gotta say, the Veg just keeps growing on me. It seems to pair really well with pretty much all my soaps, too. My go to lately has been Veg with Stirling Agar EDT. I'm really glad I didn't listen to the naysayers.

Also, decanting to glass really opens it up.

 

[Toothpick]

Used the Veg for the first time today. A pleasant scent. Just smelled like baby powder to me. Not bad at all. I was thinking “woot! I’m chosen!“. Then the burn set in. Then the redness set in. Then I realized nope, not chosen!

No other aftershave has given me this reaction. Burn and very very red wherever I applied it. Something in it my skin don’t like. Had to wash it off. Glad it was just a sample bottle of it.

Sorry you had that reaction. I would not use that product again.

I use the Veg three or four days a week but it doesn't often make it into the shot.

I bought a bottle of the Veg a while ago. I put some on after shaving yesterday. Last night my wife said she liked the scent I was wearing. For the last few weeks she’s had a bit of a head cold so she probably wouldn’t have noticed it during that time. I looked to see if there was a Veg soap, but there doesn’t seem to be one. Recommendations for soaps which would be compatible/complimentary, anyone?
Looks like I may be chosen.

I'm assuming you mean shaving soap? Wholly Kaw makes Vetililac which I think pairs very well with the Veg.

 

[Barbablanca]

Thank you, emwolf. Yes, I did mean shaving soap. I may have to try that one. Lots of soaps out there. Too many to try them all!

Had a lovely Veg shave yesterday, first time in a while and it didn't disappoint. I used the Wholly Kaw Vetililac soap, the Veg and highlighted it with White Musk from The Body Shop.

Razor: Fatip Mk1
Blade: Gillette Platinum (13)
Brush: Rudy Vey 25mm Mühle STF Synthetic
Soap: TFS Ginestra di Taormina
ASL: the "Veg"

As the month of February comes to a close I realized it was not only Fatip Friday, but I heard there was a call out for "the Knights of the Veg Table".
On top of that, my Cobalt Blue 2022 B&B Contributor Brush with the 25mm Mühle STF Synthetic knot showed up in the mail today and I couldn't wait to try it out.

I started out loading my new Rudy Vey brush on the puck until it started forming lather, then went straight to my neck and built a lather that could not be beat after a dip in the water mug.
This is my first Rudy Vey brush, and it sure is a wonderful brush to behold and a pleasure to use. I can already tell that it is going to one of my favorite brushes. I love it already.

The Linea Intenso line of TFS shaving soap is absolutely luxurious and performs well above the price point. The scent is just enough to let you know it is there during the shave and pairs extremely well with Lilac Vegetal.

I went with my standard three pass shave, the first N-S pass being close enough to call it quits with a DFS, the Mk1 just spells efficiency with a capital F for Fatip.

As close as the first pass was, I could really feel the blade as it reduced the remaining stubble in slow steady passes that did not encourage any buffing at all on the second S-N, mostly ATG pass.

After a dip in the water mug for a nice thin lather, the third N-S pass was mostly for show, as this is a balls out, take no prisoners type of razor, it is a freaking hot-rod leaving me with the closest shave of the year.

Sure the Witch hazel stung a bit, and the "Veg" lit my neck on fire like usual, but the Nivea balm came to the rescue and confirmed that "there was nothin' left".

No redness, no weepers, no stubble, just a Damn Close Shave.

This is my first time with Lilac Vegetal. I ordered a sample bottle way back during the Black Friday sale.

Took a whiff of the bottle before the shave, got the rotting vegetation scent. Applied liberally after the shave. Nice burn! Then I was getting the restroom scent, which is not bad, but not great. Now, the drydown is wonderful! It's like fresh cut flowers, yet somehow masculine. I am one of the chosen.

I haven't seen my wife yet though...

Do keep us posted!

Do keep us posted!

She said it smells nice, but a little old man-ish.

I'm going to decant some into glass at some point. It's worked wonders for my other Clubman aftershaves.
