July 25, 2023 - Left handed Christmasy shave

• Brush: Omega S-Brush
• Razor: GEM OCMM
• Blade: GEM PTFE (35)
• Lather: Noble Otter - 'Tis the Season
• Alum: Osma
• Post Shave: Noble Otter - 'Tis the Season
• Fragrance: Chatillon Lux - Taum Sauk (not pictured)

'Tis the Season is THE scent of Christmas to me. It smells like a pine tree, but with a bit of sweetness from raspberry and vanilla and a kiss of savory rosemary. That addition may sound weird, but it works. It all comes together as a warm, cozy scent reminiscent of Christmas morning with your family.

I originally had my Kamisori shavette slated for today because it's green to go with my red brush, but thought better of it when I saw the challenge. I think this gold colored brass OCMM looks better with the labels anyway. The left handed shave went surprisingly smooth considering the 35 use blade (left over from AA last year. I figured I would see how far I could push this one). Taum Sauk topped it all off with its lovely woodsy cedar and vanilla aroma.

Chisel & Hound brushes are great. I love Rob's style and how he uses different materials and techniques in his creations. While I didn't use one of my four C&H brushes today (I wanted to color coordinate with the label in my SOTD pic), I always enjoy them when I do. Keep up the good work u/geekyoldrob!
