July 24, 2023 – Christmas in July's Eve

• Brush: Paladin Chief 26mm Satin Juma Smoke
• Razor: Blackland Blackbird Ti
• Blade: Astra SP (3)
• Lather: Barrister and Mann - Waves
• Post Shave: Spearhead Shaving – Sea Forth! Sea Spice Lime splash
• Fragrance: Duke Cannon - Huron

The Soap/Lather: It’s Barrister and Mann, so you know the scent is great and the lather is awesome

The Shave: The shave was smooth and easy today.

Post Shave/Frag: In order to create the ultimate aquatic citrus scent I opted for SSL aftershave and Huron as my frag. The combination of all 3 was quite nice.

Theme: I received todays soap sample from u/2SaintsDude. He’s a close personal friend that I finally convinced to join us in wet shaving. He and I send each other samples of almost everything we buy so that we can maximize our experiences. The splash and frag were also gifts I was given from other people in my life.

Challenge: For todays challenge I thought I would do something a little different. This whole community has been awesomely supportive and I could say something about most of the active members. Alas I don’t have the time to write it all and the judges certainly don’t want to read it. Instead let me recognize the person who gave me my first PIF u/InfernalInternal. I want to give a shout out for the generosity of the PIF as well continuing on the Mammoth AA. More importantly he’s putting up a donation for each member who joins him. If ever we should meet, first drinks on me.
