Jul. 22, 2023 - A Berry Weird Shave

  • Prep: Sit - Rethink my life

  • Brush: Chisel & Hound Mighty Duck v19 Fanchurian

  • Razor: GEM MMOC

  • Blade: GEM PTFE

  • Lather: Caties Bubbles - Blugère

  • Post Shave: Lucky Tiger - Aftershave & Face Tonic

  • Fragrance: Imaginary Authors - Falling Into The Sea

Berries Berries Berries. As a few other of my co-shavers today I explored the wonderful internet for clarification on what qualifies as a “Berry” for today. Obviously the blueberry in Blugère qualifies but I needed something to pair that with for today. Then I happened upon the subset of berries called Hesperidium which all citrus falls under! Boom! I have a shit ton of citrus scents so set there! Lucky Tiger is “citrusy orange, tangerine and grapefruit” so all citrus there. Falling into the Sea is “Lemon, Bergamot, Grapefruit, Lychee, Tropical Flowers & Warm Sand” of which the top three are citrus and Lychee is in the soapberry family!

Todays #photocontest #Fruit theme is along the same daily theme since the djudges so helpfully pointed out that banana is a berry! I promise this isn’t a picture of u/j33pguy13 but I’ll take the 30 points anyway!

Alright so now we get down to business with today. I definitely didn’t feel confident about shaving my legs today, both in ability and in willingness. I didn’t want to let everyone down so I searched for some inspiration. Suddenly I remembered a certain unique lathering technique from a previous years Lather Games Daily Challenge and had it figured out! I scooped out some soap from the sample, smeared it over the target area and went with it! Worked up a good chest lather and started mowing down the growth. The MMOC plowed through the jungle with ease

Before and After. I feel weirdly naked, I’ve always thought my chest hair looked weird but not sure this is an upgrade. It will be fun to see my wife’s reaction, I did this after she left for work and she mentioned going to the pool tomorrow…
