July 16, 2023 – LG23 Day 16: Shave and a Haircut – Two Bits
- Brush: DS Cosmetic Barberpole Silvertip Badger 24mm
- Razor: Parker Shavette
- Blade: Durablade Sharp Hi Chromium
- Lather: Noble Otter – Barrbarr
- Post Shave: DentonMajik – Pink Floyd
- Fragrance: Jovan – Musk for Men
I think I’m happy about having fewer hardware constraints, as I freely chose a shavette—which I probably would have anyway—to keep the barber theme consistent. Surprisingly, I got a great, quick shave for not having used it, or any straight razor for that matter, in quite awhile. Noble Otter Barrbarr is a great take on the barbershop scent and I got a pretty slick lather for the shavette, though my brand new air conditioner keeps the house pretty arid. A spray mister might be a good tool to add. Again, another scent I could add, but maybe some day. A fantastic set I did add was DentonMajik Pink Floyd, a riff on Pinaud Clubman Musk, which is the scent of Wycoff’s Barbershop where I went as a kid. I carried the musk theme further into Jovan Musk for Men EdT to finish things off.
Daily Challenge : Meme Day
I’ve typically been an enjoyer of memes rather than a creator so I tried to step up my game a bit this year.
For soon-to-be federal inmate u/OnionMiasma and his victims, of whom I suspect I will soon be. I offer this ripe-for-the-picking selection.
It wouldn’t be meme day if we didn’t take some shots at our favorite Pathetic Artisan in Arizona. Douglas’s paradise is Facebook, but into Douglas’ life, a little rain must fall. With u/OnionMiasma’s recent ban from The Wet Shaving Society, I will have to pick up the hose.
In honor of those of us who went for #SELFSHARPENING points in the hardware scavenger hunt and found ourselves the recipient of new hashtag #SKINDONOR. Let us curl up in a corner and lament our choice together.
Finally, some self-depreciation. For the 77 viewers of A Barbasol Love Affair, I offer this olive branch.
PS. Thanks to the mods for apparently fixing whatever infinite loop hell I was apparently in yesterday.
Happy shaving!
