July 13, 2023 – Hippy Dippy Baloney

  • Brush: Paladin Chief 26mm Satin Juma Smoke
  • Razor: Blackland Blackbird Ti #CNC
  • Blade: Astra SP (4)
  • Lather: Declaration Grooming – Yuzu/Rose/Patchouli
  • Post Shave: Thayer’s – Original
  • Fragrance: Chatillon Lux – Yuzu/Rose/Patchouli

I can without a doubt say that I have seen the Lego movie far more than any grown man should. Two young kids will definitely do that to you.

The Soap/Lather: After my horrible patchouli experience with Van Yulay’s Woodstock I was more than a little nervous about Yuzu/Rose/Patchouli (YRP). It’s scent, however, is significantly better. The citrus and rose mix well with the patchouli and help to create a much more complex aroma. The soap, of course, lathered up quite well.

The Shave: Great shave with this soap with no nicks or burning.

Post Shave: Used a little Thayer’s for the post shave to help keep the natural hippy dippy vibe going. Topped that using a sample of YRP I grabbed from Chatillon Lux’s website.

Challenge: When I think of Hippy Dippy Baloney there is only one song that comes to mind, Steppenwolf's song Magic Carpet Ride. If John Kay is to be believed the song isn’t in fact about a drug trip, but I’m not a believer.

Thanks to u/2SaintsDude for the sample of YRP.
