LG Day 22- Spooky Season

  • Brush: Aurora Grooming LG24 w/26mm Oumo Synthetic
  • Razor: Karve Brass CB OC-F
  • Blade: Rapira Platinum Lux (9)
  • Lather: Southern Witchcrafts - Boonana
  • Post Shave: Stirling - Coconut Lime splash
  • Post Shave: Zingari Man - Unscented AS balm

It's chilly and rainy outside. The perfect day for a razor with bloodletting potential and Boonana (thanks u/Tetriside). There is no question that SW has a top tier base. My problem has been finding a scent that I like. Sure, I could use their unscented soap, but that's the shaving equivalent of getting a banana in your Halloween bag (I wanted a Snickers, god damnit). Boonana might be the first scent that didn't make me wrinkle my nose or depress me because of the darkness. I actually liked it! Look, as much as I like my music dark and heavy (and maybe with the occasional Satanic invocation), I like to shave with some brightness. And dare I say, there is a wee bit of brightness to be found here, probably because of the bana...er...boonana. I also didn't draw blood with the OC-F plate because I had a nice slick base to work with. I had to add the Coconut Lime just to give me more lightness.

As to the Daily Challenge, some people might assume by my name that I might be the type of guy to carve Slayer into his arm, but you would be incorrect. Beyond spending hours and hours in a tattoo chair, I'm not a fan of mutilating my body. I'm not sure I've got anything carveable around here, but if I do, I'll edit for my skills later.

Try to enjoy your day and remember to be kind to one another.
