June 27, 2024 - this is my prius
- Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts w/ 25mm Muhle STF
- Razor: Karve Christopher Bradley (brass, SB-D)
- Blade: Wizamet
- Lather: Zingari Man - The Watchman
- Post Shave: Wholly Kaw - King of Oud
- Fragrance: Zoologist - Camel
Relevance for the software is through all the pieces being on theme today. The Watchman is 19 notes, King of Oud is 14, and Camel is 18. From a scent perspective, King of Oud and Camel play really nice together with the emphasis on oud, incense, and rose working together between them.
This challenge was a bit of an easy one today. I am right handed for everything that matters, but I almost always shave with both hands for the purpose of getting angles. To meet the challenge I just forced myself to shave left handed for the entire shave. As an added challenge I did a full three passes, which is something I almost never do for skin irritation reasons.
I love this soap. I really need to use it more often. The lather is great. It's really slick throughout the shave, but I do wish is had slightly more residual slickness. I hate this splash. I LOVE the scent on King of Oud, but I hate this splash. It's somehow the driest liquid I've ever put on my skin. I have to use so much to get my whole face rubbed in that it can't be cost effective to use this stuff. That said, the face feel like 10 minutes after using the splash is phenomenal. There's clearly something in here doing good work even though I hate the experience of using it.
Today's photo contest theme is A Prius. Specifically this is my prius. It lives in a photo on my iPad hosted on Toyota's website. Isn't it such a great Prius? I really enjoy owning my Prius. #photocontest
