SOTD by u/hugbckt

July 17, 2023 – LG Day 17 – Together Again

• Brush: RazoRock 400 Plissoft Synthetic
• Razor: Gillette Gold Ball-End Tech
• Blade: Gillette Rubie (1)
• Lather: Zingari – Mousse Illuminée
• Post Shave: Southern Witchcrafts – Carpathia
• Fragrance: Maya Njie – Nordic Cedar

A delightful collaboration between Zingari Man and Rogue Perfumery today. This is a really wonderful scent that I wish I had grabbed a sample of the actual fragrance for. Today would’ve been a great excuse for it, but I just didn’t plan ahead well enough. I’ll keep it fairly short. The lather was a little bit weak, but I think that was user error on my part as I haven’t used ZM very much, and I probably just needed moar water moar soap. The fragrance was, as mentioned, a delight. Carpathia added some dank, wet stone, which felt appropriate given the significant note of moss in the soap. I struggled a bit to figure out what fragrance to use, but out of my options in my den, Nordic Cedar was the best fit. The perfumer describes it as earthy, due to the patchouly, but the base of cedarwood and musk is what I get most, which certainly fits the mid notes and base notes of Mousse Illuminée. The match works, but just doesn’t emphasize the moss, which I think is so cool about this particular lather scent. #FOF

And now, I present you some properly cringe-worthy jokes about alum:

Where does u/jeffm54321 store his SOTD pics? >!In a photo alum!!<

What’s the difference between a chef and an alum user? >!Where they put the salt.!<

What do you call someone who uses Osma alum to help their skin? >!Delusional. !<

Why did the alum user get a job as a dermatologist? >!Because he wanted to help people with their skin problems, even if he couldn’t help his own.!<
