This might be a controversial take... I think I preferred the previous spearhead base to the new one. I might be the only one.

June 6, 2024 - This challenge made me thirsty

• Prep: Shower
• Brush: AP SHAVE Co. - Purple Badger
• Razor: Rex - Konsul
• Blade: Gillette - Nacet
• Lather: Stirling - Gin and Tonic on the rocks
• Post Shave: Stirling - Gin and Tonic

Here is my video blog: This was way too much trouble for what it was worth

At least I'm a bit drunk now. Took me 3 tries to get the gin and tonic clip at the end. Might need to do another take now that I think of it.

June 9th - barbershop

• Prep: Shower
• Brush: Wild West Brushworks
• Razor: Gillette - Fatboy
• Blade: Gillette - Permasharp
• Lather: Spearhead - Fleur de France
• Post Shave: Epsilon - Blue

I scored 9% oof.

This was a tough call for me, I have many available choices for barbershop scents. I really like the note of geranium in this one, I think it sets it apart. Epsilon blue did not pair very well however. I'm quite sad that I wasn't able to snag an EDT of Fleur de France before it was discontinued.

theme today was "fill the frame"

• Lather: Spearhead - Heather
• Post Shave: Spearhead - Sea Spiced lime

photocontest touch grass

As a person with colorblindness I find today's challenge offensive.

Sea spiced lime does not go with Heather but I needed it for color coordination.

Initially had planned on using kryptonite because it has a distinctive grass smell for me. After listening to the podcast and getting mad about my vetiver DQ, I decided to play it safe with a lather that had flowers as the 1st and 3rd scent note listed. Had fun taking this picture outside and looking like an insane person.

Photo theme was Darkness. Shot it in the dark 30 second exposure where I kinda painted the light in with a LED pole that I kept asking Alexa to change color mid shot. Had to put a blanket over my window. Used a 35mm prime lens that I purchased yesterday from a guy on marketplace.

The barrel lantern belonged to my grandpa. He was still wetshaving into his 90s. He used an omega boar brush. My cousin and I would buy him soap every once in a while and he would say "I wish they had stuff like this when I was young enough to go to the dances."

SOTD - June 15 - in for the kill

• Prep: Shower
• Brush: Wild West Brushworks
• Razor: Gillette - Fatboy
• Blade: Gillette - Nacet
• Lather: Chiselled Face - Banana
• Post Shave cold water

Will not be participating in daily challenge due to irritation taking me out of the game yesterday. Sorry boys, my lather is shitty enough on its own and I have trouble shaving everyday as is.

This tub is my closest to a kill and I would have done it too if it weren't for my meddling girlfriend. She hates the smell of bananas. I would like it noted that in lieu of a dry lather I have opted for a dry girlfriend and I think that deserves partial points.

Photocontest

For photo I went with theme hobby. I have far too many hobbies, but I figured my love of guns would pair well with me trying to kill this tub. Other hobbies include but not limited to: skiing, jiu-jitsu, Seiko modding, rock climbing, PC gaming, photography.

Edit: Imgur took my photo down

I honestly know very little about the American civil war or Juneteenth. But I think this soap is made in Ohio and I think that's good.

I was very dissatisfied to find out none of my photos were mentioned so far in the podcast. I will be unsubscribing.

Theme today is wood. Went for a soft cinematic look.

• Post Shave: Spearhead - Sea Spiced Lime
• Fragrance: Spearhead - Sea Spiced Lime

What a day for this shave. Hit 27C in Vancouver today. Had to use the sea spiced lime, my favorite scent of all time. The scent I wore on my first date with my partner.

My hike today was a round of pitch and putt and a walk around the rose gardens at Queen Elizabeth park. photo evidence 4th photo I just found out is called dogwood and it is our provincial flower in British Columbia. Brought my shave stuff in my golfbag thinking I would try to shave on the course but it was insanely busy and I was not brave enough. If I may enact airbud rules: I did take my shave on a walk. It does not specify to shave outdoors and one could "enjoy some fresh air with your shave" by simply shaving, then taking the trash out.

Theme today was money. Chose money as it features queen Elizabeth which ties it into the hike I went on today. Check out our wacky Canadian money. Simpsons reference

Donuts theme. Lol cheeky in camera double exposure. Both shots were taken at the famous Duffins donuts. An east Vancouver staple since 1987.
