2023-07-20 Pasty Dupelganger
Chicago Grooming Co.'s Irving Park is the Dupeelganger for today (YSL Rive Gauche).
Scent note list as follows: Bergamot, Star Anise, Rosemary, Lavender, Geranium Leaves, Cloves, Vetiver, Guaiac Wood, Patchouli.
I love this set. But ya gone and made me lather it wrong. As I mentioned on another post I have mild OCD (was worse as a kid but you work on it). I bowl lather and work for that perfect whipped wholly hydrated lather and that is where I like to fall. Not loose, and runny, bubbly or chunky. Nor thick enough your fork can stand up in it (we are not aiming for a perfect bowl of chili here folks).
So the default is to be pasty. ^(Grumble).
Picked my brassbird because it handles most any lather (good or bad) quite well. Grabbed a new blade I had never used before (not great idea).
Was an okay shave. Not gonna blame the soap or the razor. Can't say for the razor blade. The technique - all pasty like...means rinse, swipe, rinse, swipe, no good.! Oh well.
So, in the immortal words of DJ Pete Nice and Secrch (3rd Bass) from Herbalz in Your Mouth:
[Serch] Weebles to the weebles to the wobbles - to the herbalz
[Nice] I don't drink milk when it curdles
[Serch] Cause then it's too pasty, French like pastry
[Nice] It's like gettin caught boostin at Macy's
[Serch] True indeed, Cogswell Cogs, and Sprockets at Spacely's
[Nice] I make like George, and Jet-i-son safely
Take care and have a good one.
