  • Brush: Maggard Timberwolf Synthetic 24mm
  • Razor: Razorock Game Changer .84
  • Blade: Gillette Nacet (17)
  • Lather: The Art of Shaving – Sandalwood
  • Post Shave: The Art of Shaving – Sandalwood

This cream smells nothing like sandals or wood, but I guess I probably smells like sandalwood. The AoS cream was my first foray into wetshaving \~8 years ago. Looking back, I've come a long way in my shaving journey (I don't know if that's necessarily a good thing though). I don't know if my technique has improved or if the cream has gotten better with age, but I was able to get a really nice lather out of it.

Without knowing any scores, I think u/Priusaurus is a strong contender for overall LG winner. The time and effort that must go into his interviews really shows in creating great, engaging, entertaining posts. For FoF, my money is on last year's overall winner, u/RedMosquitoMM. His writing is fantastic, and I think he does an excellent job of describing fragrances and how they pair. I'd put u/chronnoisseur42O as my Photo Contest frontrunner, with yesterday's Lavendursday photo being one of his best.

Shaver General to the tune of The Major General's Song by Gilbert and Sullivan

Lyrics:

I am the very model of a modern Shaver-General

Of soaps, both vegetable and tallow, I have several

I know the soapers of England, and I quote the shaves historical

From Marathon to Dickhole, in order categorical

I'm very well acquainted, too, with shavers who’re fanatical

I understand the razors, both budget and aristocratical

About wet shaving I am teeming with a lot o' news

Cheerfully all of the wetshaving posts I must peruse

Cheerfully all the wetshaving posts he must peruse!
Cheerfully all the wetshaving posts he must peruse!
Cheerfully all the wetshaving posts he must peru-peruse!

I'm very good at both shaving and soap lathering

On wetshaving I’m certainly not just blathering

In short, in soaps both unobtanium or plentiful

I am the very model of a modern Shaver-General
