July 25, 2023 – Christmas in July
- Brush: Maggard Synthetic
- Razor: Maggard Razors MR7/V3
- Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (3)
- Lather: Noble Otter – Tis the Season
- Post Shave: Barrister and Mann – Vespers
I got the Noble Otter ‘Tis the Season last year to replace my nearly empty tub of Christmas Eve, which has been my prior go-to for the holiday season. I enjoy this and NO is always great to use. Pairing with Vespers, which also gives off the Christmas vibe. These holiday shaves during the summer are always interesting. It seems so strange to go around all day smelling like pine trees and Santa while sweating balls in the sweltering summer heat. Someone should make a Christmas in July scent that smells like a combination of frankincense, myrrh and ball sweat.
For the daily challenge, this isn’t really much of a challenge for me. I shave a fair amount with my left hand already. I’m not ambidextrous, by any stretch, but I’m pretty functional with my left, so an easy day. I do find that when I shave with my left I hold the razor very near the head, as opposed to closer to the middle of the handle with my right.
