July 19, 2023 - CREAM

• Brush: Wool Sock, 406mm loft #TOLL
• Razor: Blackland Razors Era
• Blade: Gillette Platinum (1)
• Lather: Wholly Kaw - Dulci Tobacco - Cream
• Post Shave: Chiseled Face - Sherlock
• Fragrance: House of Mammoth - Tobacconist
• Music: Green Day - Longview

Daily Write-Up:
I’m seeing everyone posting with their cotton or dress socks. But around here, we like animal hair brushes, because they have “character”. So, I’m certain that a wool sock is the way to go.

I turned my sock inside out, as the inside seems to be much more conducive to making a great lather.

I creamed my sock (phrasing, people) with a lot of the Wholly Kaw cream, and moved to my bowl to build a good lather.

After a lot of work, a lot of soap, and a lot of water that kept being whisked away by the sock, I got a small amount of serviceable lather.

I moved to my face, and had a quick two-pass shave with minimal irritation or drama. 2 passes with a mild razor is much better than 10 passes with an aggressive one.

Since MotherMiasma is no longer around to wash my dirty socks, I rinsed it out and threw it in the laundry. I definitely wouldn’t want someone to see my sock with cream all over it.

Soap Theme Justification
* This is a shaving cream. It says so right on the lid.

Post-Shave and Fragrance Relevance Notes
* My theme for scents is “Tobacco, three ways” * For the AS, I chose Sherlock. Per CF: It is a warm tobacco based scent blended with toasted caramel, black pepper, moist dirt, and finished with a touch of leather, moss, mandarin, honey and rose. Fun fact, when I asked Ron which scent of his he was most proud of, he answered Sherlock without a moment’s hesitation. * For the Frag - I pulled in HoM Tobacconist. Per HoM: Tobacconist is full and natural, with wood and tobacco taking center stage. * Today’s scent is always a hard one for me - I’m not a big tobacco fan. I grew up in a smoking household and hated it- I couldn’t run away from tobacco fast enough. Some of the really quality scents like Sherlock and Tobacconist are slowly allowing me to see why so many like tobacco scents, but I still don’t see any of these items becoming part of my regular rotation.
