July 20, 2023 – Dupelgänger

• Brush: Paladin Chief 26mm Satin Juma Smoke
• Razor: Blackland Blackbird Ti
• Blade: Astra SP (4)
• Lather: Ariana & Evans – Vanille de Tabac
• Post Shave: Ariana & Evans – Vanille de Tabac splash
• Fragrance: Duke Cannon – Old Glory solid cologne

The Shave: Admittedly I have a hard time lathering this soap and usually use it in a more paste like form. Seeing as how its Water Day, I added significantly more water and made a thin runny lather. This was especially fun trying to put on as it just dripped off my brush and ran down my face. The shave was just as bad as the runny lather provided little in the way of cushion.

Post Shave: Seeing as how its dupe day I went ahead and used the matching splash to ease my face after its second day of shit show shaving. I followed that up a little Duke Cannon solid cologne.

Theme: Vanille de Tabac is a dupe of Tom Ford’s Tobacco Vanille as listed on Thirsty Badger. The Old Glory fit in with its similar warm tobacco scent.

Challenge: I turned my normally pasty lathering into a watery mess.
