July 8, 2023 – LG Day 8 – SBS (But not the SBS we’re usually referring to)
- Brush: Maggard Timberwolf Synthetic 24mm
- Razor: Karve CB SB-B
- Blade: Lord Classic (1)
- Lather: Maggard Razors – Orange Menthol
- Post Shave: Wet the Face – Grapefruit Tangelo
- Fragrance: Kerosene – Summer of 84
I am forever grateful for Maggard Razors. Almost every wetshaving purchase I’ve made has been through them. Especially since so much of my den is samples, Maggard is really the only place to go when you want to try a variety of things and not pay out the butt in shipping costs. The fact that Maggard has such a positive relationship with many of our favorite artisans makes it feel much better – knowing that it’s not about the money but about the love of the hobby and the community makes it that much easier to support Maggard Razors.
With all that said, I embarrassingly only have one scent of Maggard’s house brand soap – Orange Menthol. It’s simple but successful, with a lovely orange accord that doesn’t feel overpowering but is present, and is neither too synthetic nor hitting me over the head with essential oils. This made it an easy pair with WTF Grapefruit Tangelo, which just kicks up the citrus anytime I’m looking for that. Summer of 84 is a new acquisition for me; I believe this is my second time wearing it. It’s a very clean explosion of grapefruit, made better by the other notes in the background allowing the citrus to shine. Today is a bright, summer shave, sponsored by the folks that make it impossible to stop buying more soap. #FOF
DQT comment/answer/contribution here. Probably will have more over the course of the day, too, to appreciate the sheer number of shitposts in the thread.
