- Brush: Dogwood Good Gully Maggard Black and White Synthetic 26mm #PREMIUMPLASTIC
- Razor: Razorock Game Changer .84
- Blade: Gillette Nacet (16)
- Lather: House of Mammoth – Santa Noir
- Post Shave: House of Mammoth – Almond Leather
- Fragrance: House of Mammoth – Santa Noir
Santa Noir smells very distinctly pine-y and woody (with no hint of cat pee, thank you) with a green, resinous base that perfectly captures sitting in front of the Christmas tree with family opening presents. To my nose, this soap just smells like Christmas in a way nothing else does.
Today's challenge was not as difficult as I thought it might be. I had a little bit of trouble figuring out what to do on the first pass, but I was able to pretty quickly figure out how to use the razor in my left hand.
For the Premium Plastic tag, I assume this brush counts. I paid $75 for it, which included a synthetic knot when I bought it on the Southern Witchcrafts website.
July Christmas to the tune of White Christmas by Irving Berlin.
Lyrics:
I'm dreaming of a July Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the brush knots glisten
And shavers listen
To hear razors in the soap
I'm dreaming of a July Christmas
With every SOTD I write
May your shaves be merry and bright
And may all your razors shave right
