  • Brush: Muninn Woodworks purple burl AP Shave Co. 24mm MiG
  • Razor: Blackland Blackbird
  • Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
  • Lather: Barrister and Mann – Le Grand Chypre
  • Post Shave: Southern Witchcrafts – Gravefruit II

My face is still feeling the effects of yesterdays challenge and I must broke open some of the micro wounds. This feels like straining your ankle in the middle of a marathon. Keep pushing through.

I had to go with an obvious Chypre because I can’t identify them. A lot of people saying this smells like cola and I can understand that. To me, more citrusy though. Like a lemonized cola or cola mixed with some citrusy drink to tone down the cola. So I paired it with Gravefruit II to keep up the citrus.

As for wettubing stars……I don’t really watch them. I watched cosmo’s precision lathering when I first started out and then decided it takes too long. I did recently watch a video from Sourav using a blackbird Then I got a blackbird and used it today for that reason. So, I guess Sourav is my favorite for convincing me to buy a good razor. /u/VisceralWatch did not convince me to buy a blackbird sooner than Sourav, which is why Sourav is better. Too modern of a razor perhaps?
