July 14, 2023 – LG2023 Day Fourteen
- Brush: Jannik – 28mm SHD Badger
- Razor: Personna – BBS-0
- Blade: Polsilver (3)
- Lather: Summer Break Soaps – Cannonball!
- Post Shave: Summer Break Soaps – Cannonball!
Some really good choices in the den for this one but I went with Cannonball which is also one of my favorite summer scents.
The scent is unique which with the mass array of scents we have available to us these days is still quite and achievement. The chlorine hits you straight from the tub and then the fruity orange and pineapple just pokes through to tease your nose a little. One of my highlights is synthetic menthol, I just prefer the creeping feeling to the old style menthol we used to get in most soaps.
The brush is from Jannik who you guys will probably know better as Wald Shaving Brushes, this one came from him a while back when I started talking to him in a German FB group, I was amazed at some of the handles he was producing “for fun” and without even having a lathe so I jumped at the chance of grabbing this one when he offered it to me.
The BBS-0 from Personna is often wrongly assumed to be the role model for the Legendary BBS-1 but alas they are not related at all, the BBS-0 is a great razor in its own right and when you get the angle spot on.
Daily Challenge:
Nothing to report really a quick against the grain shave, a second with the grain pass followed by a little touch up and we are done for the day.
