July 18, 2023 - Collaboration Day

• Brush: Shave Forge 28mm Boar / AP Shave Co - BMW Blue
• Razor: Chiseled Face Legacy
• Blade: Gillette Platinum (3)
• Lather: Declaration Grooming - Cerberus
• Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Unscented - Balm
• Alum: Osma - The only luxury alum, as heard on ShavePod
• Fragrance: House of Mammoth - Cerberus

Daily Write-Up:
Today’s soap is Cerberus, the Declaration Grooming / House of Mammoth / Noble Otter mashup.

I know that u/Merikus is looking to have Osma sponsor the ShavePod podcast. Given that I am ~~easily swayed~~ a slave to celebrity endorsements, I made sure to have my very own Osma bar for today’s shave.

Unboxing pics: * Luckily, my local shaving store had Osma, the only luxury alum in stock. I picked up a bar, and brought it home.

• I got the box out. It was much smaller than I expected. (That’s what she said.)

• I used the Osma after the shave. I felt no stinging, and it seemed to do absolutely nothing.

• As u/merikus suggests, I then put it back in the box for safe keeping.

Did /u/Merikus and /u/Jeffm54321 lead me astray after all these years? I’m not certain, but signs point to maybe.

Soap Theme Justification
Cerberus is a collaboration between DG, HoM, and NO. All their brand-specific characters can be found on the very cool label.

Post-Shave and Fragrance Relevance Notes
* For the frag, I dickholed the Cerberus EdT. I really like the EdT version of this. I get a lot of vanilla in the EdT that I don’t get in the soap. * For the AS - I have been looking for Cerberus AS to no avail. Since I’ve been unable to find it, I substituted an unscented balm so as not to disrupt the scent profile the artisans were trying to build. I used the Barrister and Mann version instead of the Stirling or Zingari ones because the labeling looked better in my shot.

Bonus Content * /u/airbudruler (meme content here) had asked for equal time since I priusaurus-style interviewed /u/cowzilla3 earlier in the games. However, the noble djudges have made it clear that brevity is important to my score, and since I want to beat /u/priusaurus, I’m not willing to potentially lower my score for airbudruler. * However, in the interest of upholding the spirit of the long-defunct FCC Fairness Doctrine, I’ve agreed to interview him, and have added the content as a comment to this post.
