    Today's lather has bison tallow, and yes I use alum (never used osma specifically though), because I'm new to shaving noob and there's always at least one little knick.

    Today's lather is inspired by gin & tonic--per Zingari Man:

    "A man stands among friends at an evening dinner party. His charm is enchanting. His style, fresh and striking. Holding an ice cold drink, he kicks back and takes a sip. The freshness of lime, the botanicals of gin, and the deep bittersweet of tonic mirror his own complex but easy-to-love personality. Crisp and cool, this fragrance is paired with chilling koolada in our cooling aftershave and our first ever cooling soap! With just a hint of booze, this fresh and sweet scent is evocative of gin and tonic and the man who might enjoy one among friends: The Socialite."

    Challenge: Absolutely not. If I'm going to shave my face daily for the next 3 weeks, I need to still have a face.

    The last couple weeks have been my first experiences shaving with soaps, before that shaving with a safety + proraso has been my jam. It feels like home, but definitely feel like this challenge has helped me get better at working a soap lather!
