Cracking shave this morning, I do love a GEM razor and this ER is no exception. Don't get me wrong, I like DEs but the more rigid blade just seems to give me a better finish, never mind the fact that the blades last an age anyway.

Fougere Angelique, a lovely soap, sadly couldn't get hold of the splash but the thayers does the trick well enough. I think the next time I'm in the states I'm going to have to go crazy and order a ton to whatever hotel I end up staying in!

Challenge Mad Braggard Day

This one was actually a closer call than I thought. I've not gone majorly nuts with singular orders from Maggards. Now that's not for lack of desire, but being in the UK and stupid import added to it then I have to be a bit more canny. There's a limit of roughly £130, which if you stay below this they normally ignore it. To be fair though, smaller orders with maggards work well considering their incredibly reasonable postage rates, so little and often is where it's at! Though if I were able to get alcohol shipped then this would go out the window and import be damned! The vast majority of my larger orders tend to go to Slickboys, but even then it tops out at around £200...I'm ignoring hardware as that would be obscene! I did not like that challenge, it half forced me to reflect - perhaps I'll change my ways...unlikely.

Photocontest

With this being Angelique I thought I'd aim this one at 'Eyes', seemingly a biblical depiction of an angel, bloomin terrifying if this thing popped up in front of you!

Got me curious around tomorrows challenge, hopefully not quick fire as I do my best not to think too much on a Sunday, do enough of that during the week at work!

Have a good'un all.

Mad Braggard Day:
Credit where it's due: that is some excellent wordplay.

I don't think I've had much in the way of big, stupid Maggard orders. I have, on the other hand, stupidly made multiple orders, doubling/tripling/etc. shipping while making changes to my planned calendar for previous Lather Games. Yes, Maggard will combine them when possible, but that assumes you don't wait until it ships before placing the next order. I've found that that becomes less necessary when you a) have done the Lather Games thrice before and b) are not bothering to max out your Lather Games score anymore.

What I really don't want to know, though, is how much I've spent at Stirling. It's been... a lot. I've been known to place orders after every marketing email. I've gotten better, but I still make semi-regular orders because I use their bath soap and shampoo daily. It'll take me a really long time to get through all the bath soap that I have, but I'll be dead before I get through the shave soap. Without counting, Stirling easily comprises a third of my shave soap. Uh.... I guess you're welcome, Rod.

I've found that I have a habit of—after finding a thing that I like—buying ludicrous and unnecessary numbers of the thing. Shemaghs like one in an earlier photo have been a recent example (those do have a real practical purpose, though, not unlike shave stuff). Also, stuff for pew-pew hole goes in far paper fun, but I hesitate to go into that because worms are going to be all over your kitchen after opening that can.

But I digress.

#FOF
Tobacco and Leather, like other soaps with the Maggard label, is a pre-mix scent poured into Through the Fine Fire Craft soap. That's just to say that it's Maggard only by name.
It was one of the first tobacco scents I tried, and I wasn't particularly floored by it because it smells... sweet. I think that the sweetness comes from the leather part of the scent. All in all, there's an artificiality to the scent.

Tonka & Tobacco Flower is obviously meant to be floral. I haven't smelled this before this morning, and I'm very pleasantly surprised. I also now realize that I don't think I know what tonka smells like.

Unconditional Surrender has a more recognizable tobacco and subtle leather intermingled with light wood for a rich, satisfying finish.
u/hawns Is this one no longer in the lineup?

#photocontest Wood
There was a strong chance that I was going to forego a theme today (that day will definitely come), but then I realized that leaves are essentially the tips of wood.
What I personally enjoy about this is that I could use the Wood category as a throwaway by just setting up the photo on a wood table. Instead, I actually made a conscious effort to completely obscure the surface of said wood table with those wood-tips.

June 8, 2024 – Maggard’s Day

• Brush: Semogue TSN LE Mixed knot #MISTURA #OldWorld
• Razor: Parker 96R #ZAMAC
• Blade: 7 O’Clock – Sharpedge (Yellow) (2)
• Lather: Maggard Razors – Lilac
• Post Shave: Barrister and Mann – Diamond
• Fragrance: Motif Olfactif – Moments

Maggards day, or should we call it chief enabler day. Sure, we all have our favorite artisan who sucks up a ton of our money (stares at u/mammothben). But when we need hardware supplies or a lot of different things at the same time, we turn to Brad. And Brad delivers. More than once, I’ve had stuff arrive 2 days after I place the order. Sometimes I don’t order until 3pm, BAM still in the mail by 5. He runs a machine. And in doing so keeps thrill alive for many of us. Plus, customer service cannot be matched. I forgot to add an empty tub to my order once, I emailed, he replied “I gotchu!” (paraphrased) and threw a tub in before it shipped. Once I ordered Rawr, he was out, the system miscounted, he refunded me, then settled on a free shipping code I could use to get Rawr when it was back in stock (or whatever else I wanted.) I ended up using that code to send out my secret Santa last year. (Rawr came in a different order that was, of course, above the shipping threshold.)

Plus, samples from places that normally don’t do samples! Explore without excessive expense. My LG last year ran almost entirely on Maggards samples. Maybe next year I’ll run just on Maggards samples I have laying around. 3 Cheers for Maggards! And tell you what, since Maggards is FIRE, for #photocontest lets do FIRE. (Man, I hope this doesn’t melt my soap).

For the challenge, as noted I mostly order samples and hardware from Maggards, so my largest order from them isn’t huge. It was actually last year’s LG order at a whopping $70.83 cents. The box is still next to my nightstand as I used it to keep the LG stuff organized and intended to use it again this year but my calendar was completely different so I have a new Maggards box for it! My Stirling orders now are regularly over $100, but that’s mostly coffee, some bath soap and lotion, so I’m not sure it counts. My largest shaving specific order ever comes from u/mammothben (of course) at $135.34. It had Shire 2 and Rumble dickhole sets (plus 2ml edp of each because I couldn’t justify a $300 order) and a Mammoth x Lancaster Shaving works towel. I probably spent some money on a raffle leading up to that as well. Which I never win, I need to stop doing that and just buy the soap. But it’s for good causes.

A note on the Parker. It was my first razor, which in retrospect was probably a mistake. It’s an odd construction of brass handle and Zamac head, so it’s bottom weighted. There’s tons of blade feel and it’s kinda rough. Glad I have vintage Gilletes now.

On to #fof: At first glance there’s just total disconnect here, but that’s because it’s personal to me. See, my grandparents lived off a road, aptly named “Lilac.” Their yard smelled of it all year. Their family had been generational farmers for years, but that went away with my grandfather who operated heavy machinery in a quarry. So, he donated some of the farmland to the Chruch for a baseball field. Every year at family reunion when I was young, we’d go to the field and play a game of softball. Which brings us to Moments. From the description: “Time whizzing while each second is cherished. No one knew it would be awhile before our family could be together again.” This description hits hard, because like all families when our patriarch and matriarch died a few years ago, those big gatherings ended. It’s not the same. It’s not bad (my immediate family is growing and we make new traditions) but it is different. Cheris the time you have

Small business Saturday.

For today’s shave I used Maggard Razors Limes & Bergamot, I grabbed a sample of it right before the games started. Now I’m not sure if it’s the soap or my Maggard Razors brush look at it in its magnificent glory but I used less than an almond sized scoop and I had lather for days. I have u/infernalinternal to thank for steering me to that knot. I have a Dogwoods handle without a knot and I might just grab another one of the SHD’s and pop it in there.

For the daily challenge I went and looked to see what my biggest Maggard order was. I pretty much knew what it was, but what I did not realize is that I have placed 7 orders in the last 2 months. I’ve bought a few samples and a lot of full tubs and splashes. The biggest order price wise was my last one. A Trifecta of DG Contemplation, tub and splash of DG Yuzu Rose Patchouli and HOM Tobacconist splash. The most items in one order is 8 and the smallest was 1. I also have 6 items in my cart right now. Tomorrow is my bday and told my wife I wanted a Maggard gift card. Hope she listened but if not Ima buy it anyway

Todays shave is also a Fruit salad YUMMY YUMMY

Splash, SW Boonana now a banana does not go into a traditional fruit salad, but I’m comparing a shave to one so there’s that.

Frag choice today was an easy one. I’ve had this sample of Legend Spirit for a few weeks now and never wore it. But when I was filling in my calendar for today, I remembered this has top notes of Grapefruit and Bergamot so today was the perfect to use it.

Photo contest theme Baseball

Growing up in Jersey City you had 2 choices for baseball and 2 for football. Mets or Yankees, Jets or Giants. I went Mets & Giants because almost everyone around me were Jets and Yankee fans. 1986 was a glorious year to be a fan of both. The Mets went 108/54 and finished the season 21 1/2 games in the lead. Went on the beat the Astros and then the Red Sox for the World Series. I will always remember where I was for games 6 and 7. Game 6 I was at my father’s house, I fell asleep on the couch but woke up when my father started yelling about the wild pitch that tied the game. Game 7 I was home at my mom’s house, were flipping back and forth between game 7 and the Giants vs. Washington and both outcomes were wins. Mets win the Series and a few months later Yeah Baby!. It was a great time to be New York sports fan. So today’s picture is some of my favorite 86 Mets autographs.

Day 8

• Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts – Svolvaer - 28mm Maggards SHD
• Razor: Wade Butcher - 6/8 Extra Hollow Ground Straight #STR8SNOB
• Lather: Maggard Razors – London Barbershop Soap
• Post Shave: Maggard Razors – London Barbershop Splash
• Fragrance: Prada - Luna Rossa Ocean

Can I be honest with you guys? Are we in a safe space? I almost hate to say the quiet part out loud, but I don’t like Maggard’s House Branded Soaps. There. I said it. And I feel better. The weight of the world has been lifted off my shoulders! I bought this sample for last Lather Games and also picked up a full-size splash because I figured a Barbershop splash could go with anything. But I don’t really like the performance of the soap and scent leaves something to be desired. It’s possible I’m spoiled with all the other top-notch shaving software I’ve used since starting this hobby but this ain’t it. There are so many other products I like better. Like, I want to like this stuff, I really, really, really do.

And I hate to throw shade on Maggard Razors, because I know they are part of this community and I’ve bought so much from them since I started, but… If you’re looking for a London Barbershop scent that’s good enough for King Charles, maybe look elsewhere? Please don’t hate me, Mr. Maggard.

It did feel right using this honking English Straight Razor on London Barbershop Day though. I don’t know exactly what it means, but it must be some sort of omen.

Luna Rossa Ocean ties the #FOF together since it is a powdery, clean scent featuring lavender and sage, which is reminiscent of a barbershop. Ironically, I think this cologne may actually smell more barbershoppy than Maggard’s London Barbershop!

Challenge: I’ve spent more than I care to admit with Maggard’s. My most regrettable purchase was blind buying a set of Cha Cha Matcha from Ariana & Evans. I thought I was going to love it. Then I tried it and it burned my face up like none other. Like it honestly felt like my face was on fire. It was super disappointing because I did enjoy the scent. One would think I’d learn my lesson by now, but I still blind-buy a shit-ton… Just not Ariana & Evans!!

For the #photocontest: Fill the frame.

imhonestlylying’s Daily Top 5:

In honor of “Small Business Saturday”… The Top 5 Objects with the word “Micro” in them:

5.) Microscope – A really cool way to make small things look big.

4.) Microplastics – Not really a good one, but it’s part of all of us.

3.) Microfiber – Are they better than regular-sized fibers? Exactly how big is a fiber? And how much smaller than a regular fiber is a microfiber?!??

2.) Microprocessors – Microprocessors were the AI before AI was AI. Microprocessors this and microprocessors that. You really don’t hear about microprocessors anymore.

1.) MicroMachines – Remember how fast that guy in their commercials talked??

• Brush: Muninn Woodworks purple burl AP Shave Co. 24mm MiG
• Razor: Schick Injector
• Blade: Schick Injector
• Lather: Maggard Razors – Orange Menthol
• Post Shave: House of Mammoth – Alive
• Post Shave: Zingari – Unscented

This soap is simply scented, as its name implies just orange and a touch of menthol. Right away, you notice the orange essential oils it was made with. The menthol is noticeable to me but actually adds to the scent. I would not say straight minty as expected but it compliments the citrusy oil to create a more earthy yet sharp and crisp citrus than pure oils. Slightly medicinal, slightly like Orange Glo; which I love by the way. Orange Glo has other fragrances like Linalool which may provide the similarity to me since that can sometimes take on a medicinal/mintesque scent. This takes me to my memory of bringing wood back to life, since I associate this scent with dusting the tables off. Although I didn’t use Orange Glo, this SOTD brought me back to the time that I worked on my first restoration of an antique pair of skis and ski boots. I am not handy so this was a good moment for me – I gave them to my sister for Christmas to decorate her new ski house. My second project was this antique butcher block. Neither were stained, although the color changed drastically and became true to what the wood used to look like. I hadn’t thought about this for a while so it was nice to reflect upon it.

Mad Braggard Day: Two fold. First dumb purchase from another store included a razor/brush stand. Then, to top it off, I decided I didn’t want to harm my razor or brush so I put a line of silicon on it to be squishy. Now, its more useless than before since nothing fits on it (photo to follow once I get home late tonight because I forgot to take one). My second purchase is my largest from Maggard’s but is a nod to the absurdity of its longevity – one razor and 9 samples. I have finished exactly TWO of these samples from 12/27/21 but added >100 more and 30+ full tubs.

Today’s SOTD features Trash. Specifically, trash from various orders I have placed in wetshaving to circle back to the challenge. Bubble wrap, packing peanuts, a cardboard box, and a USPS envelope.

• Brush: Maggard Razors Aluminum Handle 2-Band Badger 22mm
• Razor: Maggard Razors SS70 #ZAMAC
• Blade: Wizamet (25)
• Lather: Maggard Razors - Mango Sage Tea
• Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Paganini's Violin
• Fragrance: Zoologist - Chameleon

Challenge: My biggest Maggard’s order was made last month and was just over $150. It was mostly samples and other items for a PIF I’m putting together. It also included Catie’s Bubbles Blugere for my fougere soap and a boar knot for my Aurora LG brush.

Thanks to /u/Impressive_Donut114 for the smoosh! As I begin loading my brush I smell tea with a muddled mango note. It's similar to brewing a black tea with bits of dried fruit. As such, the mango isn't particularly juicy or bright. I mostly get black tea. It's cozy. I'm not a fan of the soap base. It's too fluffy and doesn't hold much water.

For post-shave today, I'm using Paganini's Violin to play off the black tea in the soap. When I got the r/wetshaving release of Paganini’s Violin, I thought it was boring. I expect strong scent notes from Barrister and Mann. It took a few shaves for me to appreciate the subtleties of this unassuming fragrance. It's a dry, nuanced, tea-like fragrance. It's almost like the scent of paper. It's more delicate than any tea I've smelled. Imagine a tea that smells as light as violets. That's the best analogy I can come up with.

I chose Chameleon from Zoologist for the mango note to match the soap. Freshly sprayed, this fragrance feels aromatic; borderline aquatic, even. There's zesty citrus, mainly lemon, a dry woody note, and a bit of smoke. It's been a while since I've worn this. It's not what I expected so far. About 30 minutes later, there’s a tropical fruit buried in a light, powdery note. The powder note isn’t very green, or even floral. It’s as close to neutral as I can imagine for a powder note. Similar to Mango Sage Tea, the mango note in this isn’t a big player. It sits in the mix and complements the other players. A lot of the citrus has evaporated at this point. There’s still traces of the aromatic opening, but I’m mostly smelling the powdery note. It pairs nicely with Paganini’s Violin. Similar to my initial impression of Paganini’s Violin, I find myself wanting more. It’s pleasant. But, it’s not interesting enough to grab my attention.

I used the SS70 and aluminum handle badger for the theme. I don’t think I’ve used this razor since last year. The way it clamps the blade leaves room for chatter. It usually causes some irritation. Today wasn’t too bad. The brush is great for lathering, especially when I don’t have a lot of time to shave.

June 8, 2024 – LG 8: Small Business Saturday

• Brush: Maggard 2 Band Badger 24mm
• Razor: CJB Kamisori #KAMISORI
• Blade: Feather Proguard (4)
• Lather: Maggard – Lilac
• Post Shave: Barrister and Mann – Fougere Angelique
• Fragrance: Barrister and Mann – Fougere Angelique

All products software and hardware used today were purchased from Maggard Razors. Obviously the house brand soap, followed up by the Maggard BM exclusive that is Fougere Angelique are the connector today.

For our #FOF lilac is a pretty light and straightforward lilac floral scent. Their house brand is made by Maria Arman of Trhough the Fire Fine Crafts. Is it the best base out there, no, but damn well serviceable and a great price point. BM FA is probably the most citrus forward fougere I have put my nose too, a total lemon lime bomb on the opening. Super vibrant citrusy green scent. There is a whole laundry list of notes, but I find this holds bright throughout hours of wear. The geranium gives that sort of intense citronella component while the lavender gives it that herbaceous intensity. Despite sharing some many notes with its counter part Gothique, I don’t get any of the smoldering flame, but there is a woody base to counter all the other sharp citrus smells.

As for our daily challenge. I don’t know how I did it, but I deleted some of my purchase history when they did the site revamp a year (or 2?) ago. I had multiple emails with accounts and managed to I think undo some of my purchase history. It says my first purchase was a GC, and I know that is wrong both in what is is and the timing of purchase. That said, the highest I can see is $111.24, which is pretty modest all things considered in this hobby. Also, no purchases yet in 2024 (but GRUYE does not live as I needed that 1889). I think where haggard ‘gets me’ is even if I go in with only a single item in mind, I’m a sucker for free shipping thresholds. Exhibit A. So I end up just loading my cart with other things to just get over that. Why pay 8 dollars to ship when I can pay $40 for more stuff and free shipping.

For #PHOTOCONTEST Money seemed fitting, since all of our disposal income goes to shaving things, notably Maggard. Funny enough, I live in California, but I had more pounds on hand than dollars for a upcoming trip to the UK, but the colors work better for the photo anyway.

As an aside, I still suck with a kamisori, but at least this one wasn’t made of ice. Under chin is tough, and I have a days worth of stubble ~~hitler~~ Michael Jordan stache despite my efforts.

June 8, 2024 - Back to First Principles

• Brush: Maggard 30mm Black and White Synthetic
• Razor: Henson Shaving AL13 Mild
• Blade: Astra Superior Platinum
• Lather: Maggard Razors - London Barbershop
• Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Seville
• Fragrance: Chatillon Lux - Weinstrasse

This entire shave is the majority of my very first ever Maggard Razors order. I bought all of this, plus the corresponding soap for Seville and a set of Cheshire, completely sight unseen as my first ever foray into wetshaving, so there was at least a little cohesive thought put into choosing these items.

Shave went well. The soap base that Maggard uses I would describe as fine. It was slick enough for three passes and I didn't need to overload for this way too big brush. Seville pairs with everything barbershop, and Weinstrasse was great for a nice walk outside after the heat finally died down.

I don't keep receipts, so I don't have an exact price, but that very first Maggard order was definitely north of $200. It was this Henson razor, two brushes, two sets of soap/splash from B&M, around 15 samples (counting soaps and splashes), this bottle of Weinstrasse, and like 10 different tucks of blades. I don't recommend anybody else do this for the hardware. I don't really use any of this stuff anymore. The Henson is draggy and was very quickly replaced with a nicer razor, and the brushes both see very little use in the face of "nicer" synthetics that I have collected since buying them. I do recommend that new shavers go to Maggard and order a truckload of soap samples. I'm still working through that bucket, and adding more to it, almost three years later.

Photo contest theme today is Money. Fitting for the daily challenge. I liked the thought of this shave being presided over by some "friends," thus the photo only including the faces from the money. I really cherish all the memories, friends, and acquaintances I've made through this hobby, and this was a fun way to evoke that metaphor. #photocontest

• Post Shave: Southern Witchcrafts - Gothorum Tonstrina

The soap and hardware for today were all bought from Maggard. I paired the soap with Gothorum Tonstrina because they are both barbershop scents and both made by an artisan for a vendor. Nothing life-changing today; however, since I started wet shaving, Maggard is almost certainly in the running for a vendor I have spent the most money with. Never anything too big at once, but always enough to get free shipping. The biggest order from them would have to be either when I picked off my Semogue SOC with some soaps and aftershaves added on or when I bought the starter pack with today's brush and razor with some soaps added. I know my order will always ship quickly, and if I have ever had a question, it is taken care of almost before I get around to asking it. I can't forget, the only straight I have that is shave-ready is the one I won from Maggard a couple of years ago for the LGs. I'll make it out to a Maggard meetup one day.

Thanks to Chris in my local keyboard meetup for letting me take a picture of my shave stuff in front of his prius. Thanks to our wonderful judges and other people for putting this whole thing together.

Daily Mistakes
none? I am perfect? yes, probably.

Daily Writeup
This morning I woke up but I didn't shave because I had to wait until later to take a picture with the Prius so I didn't want to use up my smoosh before the picture. Then the keyboard meet was longer than expected and my dad was late to pick me up so I didn't have time to shave before work, then after work ended at 9:30 my dad and I went to the store to go grocery shopping, so I just shaved at 10:30 and I'm not sure if this closes at 11mst or 12mst so I am rushing to pump this out before 11.

Daily Theme Points
Maggard's soap lathered super great!

Daily Relevant Post Shave & Fragrance Points
Today I used the cologne russe aftershave because it is a darker scent much like moss. The fragrance is in the same boat because according to google Chypre scents are also darker, and the smells actually match super nicely today!

Daily Challenge
I need to buy more stuff from Maggards but I am a poor 15 year old that spends too much on keyboards. My biggest order was actually when I just started going deep into the hobby back in February, it was actually a birthday present from my mom that I picked out. The order was Black Watch, Orbit, and Pinaud Clubman. Pretty simple but man those are some of my favorite items my mom loved the scents so much that I actually gave her the Orbit to get her into wetshaving and she almost bought the Black Watch EDP for my grandpa lol!
