2023-07-17 Lather Games SOTD

  • Brush: SHAVE⭐DANDY CS Baritone (26x55mm Synth)
  • Razor: Wolfman Guerrilla 2 Prototype on Maggard MR11 Handle
  • Blade: Gillette Nacet (26)
  • Lather: Wholly Kaw/Chatillon Lux - Yuzu/Rose/Patchouli
  • Post Shave: SHAVE⭐DANDY - 4711 - Homebrew Aftershave
  • Fragrance: Acqua di Parma - Colonia

Today's brush started as an older handle from an unnamed company that had a really gorgeous pour and an atrocious shape. I re-turned it into something more my style, making it a not-really-a-collaboration. Same with the razor prototype, which I've always used on a Maggard handle, and with my 4711 cologne-turned-aftershave by adding the appropriate ingredients and watering it down a bit.

The link between softwares today is that all three open with bombastic zesty citrus and then mellow into some variety of floral: rose, neroli, and jasmine respectively. Not an amazing thematic link but they smell real good together.

Challenge from a guy who doesn't use alum.

Edit: yes I am aware that salts of aluminum (e.g. Osma) are different from table salt and you would not season your supper with the same astringent crystal you rub on your face
