- Brush: Order of the Midnight Animals — Midnight Kraken #FAUXFUR
- Razor: Böker S.S. Paris Wins
- Lather: Old Spice — Original
- Post Shave: Old Spice — Original
- Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company Seaforth! - Spiced
I didn't take any risks with the theme this time, and relevance of the post and fragrance are that they are spicy fragrances.
This day is really u/Cowzilla3 and TGSO appreciation day, but it was also a very welcome opportunity to use my Midnight Kraken brush and Böker boat razor.
Good shave today, and the Old Spice cream (a gift from u/Semaj3000 when we met in Oxford two years ago) creates a decent lather, but the scent is very different from the splash (sweeter, less cinnamon).
To honour our reigning champion, u/Priusaurus, I want to recall a few highlights of his stellar run last year. He automated lathering, seduced the djudges with his hot mating dance, fought Skynet, shaved on a sidewalk/restaurant terrace, shaved in a fucking ice bath, did it again (!) out of spite, developed an interesting witch hunting technique, shaved with a butt plug, and managed one of the most dignified sign-off shaves in lather games history. Truly an inspiration, and I can't wait to see what our champion has in store this year.
Today's sponsor Noble Otter's Thé Noir et Vanille was one of my earliest love-at-first-sniff wetshaving fragrances, and Barrbarr, Firefighter, and Two Kings are still among my favourites.
Oh, and #photocontest for boats!
