• Brush: Simpsons - Wee Scot #SMOLL #RUNT #OLDWORLD   
• Razor: Lambda - Athena #CNC   
• Blade: Gillette Rubie   
• Lather: Hampshire Wool fat - Original Patchouli
• Post Shave: Old Jeds Aftershave Balm - Patchouli

First time trying this Hampshire wool fat original patchouli scent along with Jeds Patchouli balm, I feel like I need to get some beads and a tie dye shirt for this shave. Hampshire is much lauded on the home forum, but just never got around to it, but I'm glad I did. Relatively soft, in consistency but excellent performance still prefer OG mitchells but it'll work. The balm wasn't bad either, I prefer a splash but this did the trick in a pinch. 

The Athena is a cracking razor, a lot of the draw initially is the packaging with the wooden box it comes in but it is an excellent razor for me. Efficient and smooth running, my only criticism (and I'm really reaching) is that the corners of the baseplate could be a little more rounded, beyond that it's brilliant.

Gotta be honest, today's extra challenge was a tough one. I went through so many songs trying to find something that was an ode to patchouli, but frankly the vast majority made my ears bleed or my brain rot which I just couldn't inflict on the judges, it truly is a hippy scent. But in my efforts I did find one that didn't make me cringe, a satirical ode to hippies and patchouli that made me chuckle whilst using the tiniest brush in my collection which also elicited a chuckle in itself, generates a surprisingly large amount of lather but it does take a bit of effort…it was a long shave…enjoy. 

Hippy shaves everyone! 

Cheers
