July 11, 2023 – Summer Blues

  • Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts Declaration Grooming B16
  • Razor: Blackland Blackbird Lite
  • Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
  • Lather: Summer Break Soaps – Cannonball!
  • Post Shave: Summer Break Soaps – Cannonball!

Cannonball! has got to be the scent of summer, every summer. The fine folks at SBS totally nailed this scent and using it any time of year transports me right back to summer at the pool. It helps that when I purchased this last year I regularly used it before going to our local waterpark – I love tying scents to memories as much as I can control it, anyway.

Excellent shave this morning. I wish there was an EDP to go with this set, but, there is not. The suffering we endure, am I right?

As for the side challenge, I think my custom Dogwood matches this pretty dang well – no, they colors aren’t identical, but, hear me out; that handle is a cannonball into my kids’ three favorite colors and yellow, pink, and purple are a heck of a lot like blue and orange so if I were you, sir judge, I would count it – it may not be a perfect color match, but it is a perfect match of the heart.

FOF Haiku of the Day

Summer pool time fun
Cannonball pleases each one
Chlorine fruit and fun
