• Brush: Rubberset 400 w/ Maggard Synthetic
• Razor: Yates Precision Manufacturing - 921-M
• Blade: Gillette - Silver Blue
• Lather: Murphy & McNeil - Pisgah
• Post Shave: Noble Otter - Barrbarr Splash

Today's Theme: Pisgah by Murphy and McNeil actually has a pretty extensive list of scent notes. It is a pretty complex scent, but it is very nice and I always enjoy using it. Total scent notes = 18

• Top Notes: Bergamot, Bigarade, Cardamom, Incense
• Middle Notes: Lavender, Ylang-Ylang, Orris, Peony, Plum Blossom, Tobacco
• Base Notes: Vetiver, Cedarwood, Amber, Patchouli, Vanilla, Gaiac Wood, Leather, Iso E Super

Today's Challenge: I was actually pretty nervous about today's challenge, but as rookie lather gamer, I would be remiss to not shave lefty today, or at least make a decent attempt. I actually went the extra mile and bowl lathered and applied the lather left-handed as well, which harder than it sounds. I actually got a great shave because I was shaving slowly and carefully, not on auto-pilot mode. Have an efficient razor with sharp blades helps a lot too.
