LG 2024- June 12th “OH HURRRAH”

• Prep: Proraso- Green Preshave
• Brush: Prometheus Handcrafts custom Baseball Bat Birch with 28mm APshave co G5C knot
• Razor: Razorock GC .84
• Blade: Astra Green (10)
• Lather: Proraso- Green cream
• Post: Proraso- Green splash ** Fragrance:** Stirling- Sharp dressed man EDT

Shave: Ahh proraso green. Prior to finding this sub and purchasing some Barrister and Mann soap in late 2022 this was the only stuff I used to shave with, for a decade. I will probably never NOT have some in my den. Same goes for the green splash, just a classic scent.

Challenge: One shelf. This is what my wife gave me. One shelf! I think that’s adequate. We are moving more to a minimalist type of lifestyle which certainly has its merits. We have purged a lot of in there past couple of years but it seems my den has only grown in that time hahaha. I feel this hobby lends itself towards the opposite of minimalism and it’s certainly a struggle to balance. We are also in the process of moving so my den isn’t at all organized in its full glory.

Some takeaways

• I highly value software over hardware. I only have one razor. Will this change? Likely. I would like to add an adjustable, a titanium, and something bronze in the near future. The Razorock Gamechanger serves all my needs for now.
• I like samples.
• All 7 of my brushes are synthetics. I may dabble into the high end badgers but for now synthetics serve me just fine.
• Taking a survey and an accounting of what you own is an interesting exercise in self reflection. I currently have 58 soap samples, 33 soaps, 25 splashes, 7 brushes, 1 razor.

Do I really need all this stuff? probably not but that’s why we are all here.

Viewing: Just a little lad that likes berries and cream I always wonder how they pitch stuff like this and where they find the actors. This guy kills it.
