SOTD 2024-06-09 Wow, I don't hate this!
- Brush: Semogue 830
- Razor: Karve - Overlander (copper)
- Blade: Dorco Prime (4th use)
- Lather: Chicago Grooming Co. - No. 11
- Post Shave: Saponificio Varesino - 70th Anniversary
First I want to thank the one who sent me this sample:
U/Priusaurus , thank you kind soul!
Now prior to trying this soap I had no intention of ever!
Zero, zilch, nada! Trying another Barbershop scent.
On the hook for that one: Seville.
What?! You exclaim! But how? It's the most wonderful barbershop!
And for that very reason I avoided anything "barbershop".
Now, after reading on No.11, and on u/priusaurus' good name;
This poor sucker decided to give it another go.
So CGC No.11 has restored my faith in the category of Barbershop.
The scent is sophisticated and screams sunny summer day.
On opening up the smush I knew that it was a scent I wouldn't hate.
Somehow my brain misremembered what 70th Anniversary smelled like.
I thought it smelled exactly like No.11; it didn't, but it worked.
Now, I think I actually prefer the scent of No.11 to 70th.
Guess I'm now going to be tempted to start looking at more soap.
Yes, the community of enablers and Lathergames.
Of course we love you all!
Understandably so, we are all in the same boat.
And that's the story of how CGC saved ~~Christmas~~ Barbershops.
So Funzo, yes that guy, wanted me to sing you a song.
On pain of death by hugging strangulation, and immolation.
Now I hope you like it.
Guess it's the end for me if you don't...
Barbershop, Barbershop
Oh Barber, Barber, Barber
Barbershop, Barbershop
Oh Barber, Barber, Barber
Barbershop, Barbershop
Oh Barber, Barber, Barber
Barbershop!
[Badum, badum, badum, badum]

Sweeter than candy on a stick
Huckleberry, cherry or lime
If you had a choice it'd be your pick
But Barbershop is mine.
