Well well well, this is going to be a tough month for me as I've liquidated most of my hardware. Good thing there aren't points for using 30 different brushes and razors anymore...or are there, I haven't read the rules and haven't looked at the calendar. That's right, I'm raw dogging this LG every day. Each day I'll look at the SOTD thread and take it from there. No prep, no plans, I'm just going to improvise.
Thankfully I went to Maggard's Weed Up this year, because I got some awesome samples from TTFFC, their soap is solid and this scent (The Lake) and Northern Lights were two of my favorites from the meetup. I've never actually used anything TTFFC before so that should count. Though technically they make soaps for Maggard so is this a loophole?
This brush was also a pickup from the meetup and the first time I've used this knot, it's really nice as far as synthetics go, but I still prefer Badger. Shape isn't my favorite but when I bought the knot a few years ago there wasn't a fan option.
You'd think that Tentacle Squad is a reference to Squid Games, but this beer has been out since at least 2018. It's a NE IPA but it has more bitterness than most haze bois, that said it's still super fragrant, floral, and grapefruit thanks to all the Vic secret and mosaic hops. I'm not usually a huge fan of mosaic hops, I think they are highly over rated, but this one really hits the spot.
