Daily Challenge

Yeah so I had a sock out on my dresser for todays challenge but this morning realized that I have a little pride in myself and 0.2 points isn’t going to make or break anything for me. So instead I’m here laughing at the posts of people regretting their decision without any guilt.

St James of London cream is one of the better ones I’ve tried, it holds a good bit of water and gets pretty darn slick! It’s just boring…Sandalwood & Bergamot smells pleasant but there’s nothing to it! No layers, nothing to discover as you lather and shave. The cream does a good job but you don’t have to work to make the lather, it’s just there. Half of what I really like about this hobby is the process and attention to detail needed to make a good lather and hold the right angle when shaving. I have kept this tub for those random 5 AM shaves when I really need to just be on autopilot and not spend any extra time on the process.

Todays pairing to the cream is all based on my #photocontest theme of #Extinct Animals. My picture is self explanatory but the rest could use explaining. My brush is a v19 Fanchurian which is no longer sold (Extinct) My razor is out of production (extinct) My balm has a Mammoth on it (Extinct) Finally my fragrances name “Ossuary” literally is a place for holding the bones of the dead (Extinct)
