    Daily Write-Up:
    Today's shave took quite a bit longer than usual, since I was giving a live demonstration to u/OnionMiasma before he shaved his legs for the first time. Then I had to stick around to make sure he didn't pass out, throw out his back, or slice his femoral artery. He was an excellent student, though there was significant grumbling.

    The Noir et Vanille is a truly lovely scent that was unfortunately overshadowed by a relatively new (and therefore somewhat stinky) boar knot. But it delivered, and I got a nice smooth shave; I was pleased to note that the lather didn't dry out too much between applying, then shaving, each leg quadrant.

    Soap Theme Justification
    * Plenty of strawberry up in here; also I hear that the honorable djudges provided approval.

    Post-Shave and Fragrance Relevance Notes
    * No real relevance, as we are traveling, and unfortunately Mr. Miasma did not bring enough Stirling balm to share.... so I had to raid the moisturizing cream I brought for the kids. Good thing I'm not playing for internet points.

    July 29, 2023 - Sandalwood Saturday

    • Brush: Noble Otter 26mm Synthetic
    • Razor: Henson AL13 #CNC #RAINBOW
    • Blade: Gillette Platinum
    • Lather: Declaration Grooming - Original
    • Post Shave: First Aid Beauty - Ultra Repair Cream

    Daily Write-Up:
    I am irrationally excited that our house has a functional bathtub again, so I figured I better give it a test run. Asked Onion to go root around in the MiasmaDen, and he surfaced with some options. I selected DG Original since its sandalwood is tempered with bergamot, which was quite pleasant.

    As for the challenge: I have enjoyed reading these posts every day. I mean, I am rooting for the home team (u/OnionMiasma), but the antics and the passion and the interactions have brought me much joy.

    A special note for u/MrTangerineSky: The lion married a lioness. Consider yourself warned.

    Soap Theme Justification
    Original = sandalwood + bergamot. Right on.

    Post-Shave and Fragrance Relevance Notes
    FAB Ultra Repair Cream is a versatile workhorse and made my previously parched legs happy. No fragrance here; the thought of spraying it on my legs weirds me out a bit. I suppose I could dab some behind my knees at the pulse points in an old-school Hollywood glamour sort of way or something. Let's just pretend I did that, since I'm not nearly that sophisticated, nor am I playing for internet points.
