Daily Challenge
Some days the djudges do make it easy. Let’s spackle up and try to enjoy a shave.
Dupelgängers
I love it when sponsor days and theme days coincide. Today it’s Chicago Grooming Empire day and dupe day for Sauvage. Apparently the Captain Jack Sparrow version and not the original from years ago. It is my only Chicago Grooming soap, so it has been my logical choice for the third year running. I really need to add a few more artisans to my lineup at the risk of getting more stuff.
The RazoRock German 37 Slant is a dupe of the Merkur 37C and is a dependable razor. Why not use it to scrape some spackle off of my face today? Maybe it will be stout enough to tackle some whiskers at the same time.
The dupelfinish of Sauvage is Scarn from Stirling Soap Co. I find it interesting the way names are created for products. I really can’t make fragrance associations to people all that well unless it’s something they’re known for, e.g. Carey Grant and Green Irish Tweed. But kudos to Stirling for The Office reference and Michael Scarn. He’s a Sauvage guy, for sure.
We’re coming to the home stretch. Keep on keeping on!!
