July 11, 2023 – Summer Sunset
- Brush: Stirling Synthetic Kong
- Razor: Maggard V3
- Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
- Lather: Catie’s Bubbles – Purple Grapefruit
- Lather: Lather Bros. – Flora Colossus Aftershave Balm
A Summer Sunset Shave. I really enjoy how well the Soap and Balm work together. The Asian pear and cedar from Flora Colossus further mellowed out the grapefruit into something that was really fitting for an evening shave.
I only a little bit regret that the balm is mentholated. It felt good on a warm summer night for a few minutes. Now it kinda burns.
Challenge: see SOTD pic. I was pretty proud of getting the purples in the soap label and the purples in the balm label and the purples in my razor accented with a black brush all up against the purple sunset skyline.
