July 11, 2023 – A Day at the Beach

  • Brush: Chisel & Hound Badger #shd #composite
  • Razor: Gillette Superspeed
  • Blade: 7 O’Clock – Sharpedge (Yellow) (3)
  • Lather: Chicago Grooming Co. – Montrose Beach
  • Post Shave: Chicago Grooming Co. – Montrose Beach
  • Post Shave: Jack Black - Face Lotion
  • Fragrance: Chicago Grooming Co. – Montrose Beach

Today I opted to shave with what Vida calls a scent “just in time for summer.” Just in time indeed. To hit the challenge today I needed a full tub, but the website was sold out. I used the contact form to explain to ask Vida if she expected to have a restock by Mid July for lather games. As a sponsor I figured she’d at least I know understand I was crazy, rather than wondering what I was asking about. I received a quick reply, she actually has 2 in stock and the web site was now updated! I bought the dickhole set, planning to use a different EdT and received a quick email that she had thrown in a gift for lather games. Surprise! She’s thrown in a travel size EdP, which nicely matches the lable of the other products. Score, totally matching set. Got my Jack Black lotion (which also matches the blues in the trifecta.) Lastly my C&H brush seems made for this moment with both blues and the sand color. Use the blue Lancaster Razor Works towel as a background and bam #photocontest entry for r/wicked_edge.

Let’s talk #fof. As I said, I wanted Montrose Beach for this day. I’m off to Chicago next week and 60/40 we end up taking the kids there so it seemed appropriate (even if the timing is off.) It’s a fairly clean aquatic scent to me. It develops nicely from soap, to splash to EdP. I pick up the fruitier notes better in the latter. I do have to chuckle a bit at the sea spray note, since Montrose is on a freshwater lake.

Keep it up fellow #ROTY we’re getting closer each day.

Edited to add the JB lotion. While it doesn't count it's in the picture so I put it in.
