TBH I really don’t know what a Chypre is supposed to smell like and only realized that Alive is classified as a Chypre when looking up things for today. This makes me happy because now I have a matching aftershave for todays theme!
For the fragrance the scent doesn’t perfectly match but Chypre = Sheep, Sheep eat Grass, and Grass = Lawn. Boom on theme! Also I wanted something to tie into the Tennis theme for todays #photocontest #Sport picture!
Lots of incredible things to say about Stirling Soap today. I swapped out the brush I had set out for this synthetic from them. Like many of us, Stirling was the first full size tub of soap I purchased in the infancy of my wetshaving career. Their breadth of products while keeping incredible price and performance says a lot about the effort that Rod and Mandy put into their business! They care about this community so much that Rod was willing to take “repeated kicks to the groin” to make the MOAR BOAR brushes reality!
I have no interest in videoing myself shave for todays challenge. To begin with I shave how God intended us to : buck naked! And that’s a show that only one person has an admission ticket to so unfortunately y’all get left out.
But to satisfy the requirements of the challenge I must share my wettuber of choice. There are a ton of incredible options out there but I keep coming back to sgrdaddy’s channel. You can pretty much guarantee that he has reviewed the scent that you’re looking for and if you need encouragement to push that blade just one more shave he’s got it!
