  • Brush: Grizzly Bay Prince with 26mm V9 Fanchurian
  • Razor: Razorock Game Changer .84
  • Blade: Gillette Nacet (6)
  • Lather: Zingari Man – The Royal
  • Post Shave: Thayers – Rose Petal
  • Fragrance: Chatillon Lux – Yuzu/Rose/Patchouli

The Royal presents a warm and regal blend of incense and spices, wrapped in a blanket of leather and silk - not very hippy-y, but definitely heavy on the incense. Also, I know it doesn't say incense with the other notes on the tub, but it is second in the list of scent notes.

For today's challenge you'll have to bear with me for a bit to understand my flawless song-choosing logic. As we all know, hippies smell like patchouli and incense. Why do they smell like patchouli and incense? To cover the smell of the weed, of course. And who else smokes a lot of weed (and probably god knows what else)? Gene and Dean Ween, that's who. Why this Ween song in particular? Because I already wrote and recorded a parody, but feel free to pretend I have a better reason.

Brush and Soap to the tune of Bananas and Blow by Ween

Lyrics:

Latherbot brought a message from the judges

“Sorry, boy, to leave you hairy and dry

But we went to see our mom on Mastodon

And we left a little something to help the shaves go by

Just a little something to help to keep you high”

Brushes & Soap (oh - oh), Brushes & Soap

Stuck in my bathroom, living on Brushes & Soap

Now the Lather Games remind me of Cosmo

The way he shaved, the color of his hair

Now I'm locked inside a stall at the cantina

Lathering the soaps and the creams up on the mirror

Looking for August to take me away from here

Brushes & Soap (oh - oh), Brushes & Soap

Stuck in my bathroom, living on Brushes & Soap

Brushes & Soap (oh - oh), Brushes & Soap

Stuck in my bathroom, living on Brushes & Soap

Brushes & Soap (oh - oh), Brushes & Soap

Stuck in my bathroom, living on Brushes & Soap
