June 4, 2024 – K.I.S.S.

• Brush: Chisel and Hound – Desert Ranger 26mm
• Razor: Blackland - Blackbird Lite #CNC
• Blade: Personna Lab Blue (3)
• Lather: Eleven Shaving – Organic Sweet Orange
• Post Shave: Castle and Forbes – Lime Essential Oil Aftershave Balm
• Fragrance: Goodfellow & Co – Cypress & Grapefruit
• The Lather: Eleven soap is completely new to me so it took me about 100,000 Years to get my lather perfected. No real complaints about lather or scent as Any Way You Slice It, it smelled just like oranges.
• The Shave: I’ll be honest, I got a little excited about KISS day figuring it would be Easy as It Seems. So I got all lathered up and ready for a Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell shave. Unfortunately I was Under the Gun and had to get to work so I had to speed up the process more than I would like.
• Aftershave/Frag: I decided to keep it simple and link my post shave in an Outta This World citrus theme using as few of none citrus notes as I could.
• Theme: Eleven Shaving website claims Only You, organic sweet orange oil, as the scent note.
• Challenge: As if I needed another challenge other than My Way of writing in KISS songs for every sentence and shaving as Star Child (see where i got all lathered up if you missed it)? Well when I found out HAGS was discontinuing their Donkey Milk Base I thought All Hell's Breakin' Loose and I already miss it the most. I’ll be damn sad when my tub of Darkside runs out, but until then I’ll Love Her All I Can. Thankfully u/mammothben makes my favorite base, tusk, and is always ready to Gimme More whenever I place an order.
• Acknowledgement: Thank you u/OnionMiasma for providing the soap and u/2SaintsDude the frag for today’s shave as I was fallen on Hard Times trying to gather everything up.
