TODAY’S THEME: From MacDuff’s scent description for Old Strathcona…
“My barbershop scent: a barbershop (as it applies to the perfumery world--the wet shaving world that word has a slightly different meaning) contains a strong “fougere” element (lavender, geranium, coumarin/tonka bean), a combination that was discovered by perfumers in the 19th century. Fougere has become a staple in the fragrance industry with many modern innovations that have continually revitalized the scent, keeping tradition alive while still moving forward.”
This base is top tier. And this is a fabulous barbershop.
CHALLENGE OF THE DAY: I only got 11/32. If it had allowed me to skip around, I would’ve gotten a ton more. But I had to go in order.
SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT: I have three tubs of summer break soap. Cannonball, daydream, and woodshop. I also have the splash for cannonball. And I desperately tried to find it today to honor summer break in my Shave. But couldn’t find it, dammit. It’s somewhere around here. summer break has a fantastic soap base.
