Jul 25, 2023 - Christmas in July

  • Prep: Klar - Activated Charcoal - Face Soap
  • Brush: Chisel & Hound Fu Dao Flare 26mm V20 Fanchurian
  • Razor: Gillette British Ball-End Tech Spiral Handle (1960s)
  • Blade: Voskhod [6]
  • Lather: MacDuffs Soap Company - Christmas Cabin - Soap
  • Post Shave: Noble Otter - 'Tis the Season - Aftershave
  • Fragrance: House of Mammoth - Santa Noir - Eau de Parfum

It's Christmas in July (and the theme actually fits this year)!

The Scents:

Between these three scents cedar, sandalwood, fir, musk, and warm, amber notes blend into a euphony of Christmastime goodness.

Macduffs Christmas Cabin: Cedar, Cardamom, Cashmere, Evergreen, Oud, Spice, Cocoa Butter, Patchouli, Santal, and Musk.

NO 'Tis the Season: Raspberry, Apple, Rosemary, Freesia, Oakmoss, Pine, Cedarwood, Musk, and Fir Balsam.

HoM Santa Noir: cassis, balsam, jasmine, honey, sandalwood, and deer musk.

Leftorium Challenge:

When I started the shave, my muscle memory kicked in with my right hand. I got through the first pass and remembered, the challenge! Switching to the left hand for the second pass I had to take it very slow. Unfortunately, I ended up getting so frustrated with my complete lack of coordination with the left hand that I switched back to finish the shave.
