LGSOTD 22-July

• Brush: Simpson - Colonel Best #OLDWORLD
• Razor: Every Ready - Ambassador
• Blade: Peronna - GEM PTFE     
• Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Gin & Tonic (On The Rocks) 
• Post Shave: Stirring Soap Co. - Gin & Tonic 

Strange time for berry club indeed, I initially struggled with this one.  I was going to try and bring in Smoking Bishop, almost wish I did with the terrible weather today, with wine, wine made from grapes, and grapes being berries.  Thought that might be a little too much of a hop, skip so decided to go for Juniper Berry, enter another Stirling offering with Gin & Tonic On the Rocks.  Standard stirling capability and very fresh off the tub and in use, the added hint of menthol was actually very nice, again not too in your face just pleasant. Not shave related, but on the grooming side, unintentional inclusion of Dapper Dan vanilla and raspberry scented clay for the hair.

Despite the very helpful guide provided by /r/Newtothethis this sadly is currently the only challenge I won’t be participating in. Gave the Mrs a heads up as to what the challenge was and turns out she's not into that or perhaps she was more concerned my legs would look better than hers when we went on holiday at the end of the month, who knows, but either which way I'm not running the risk lol. .   

Kudos to all who go the whole hog, and hope everyone has a good kick off to the weekend.

Cheers
