  • Brush: Dogwood Good Gully Maggard Black and White Synthetic 26mm #PREMIUMPLASTIC
  • Razor: Razorock Game Changer .84
  • Blade: Gillette Nacet (16)
  • Lather: House of Mammoth – Santa Noir
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth – Almond Leather
  • Fragrance: House of Mammoth – Santa Noir

Santa Noir smells very distinctly pine-y and woody (with no hint of cat pee, thank you) with a green, resinous base that perfectly captures sitting in front of the Christmas tree with family opening presents. To my nose, this soap just smells like Christmas in a way nothing else does.

Today's challenge was not as difficult as I thought it might be. I had a little bit of trouble figuring out what to do on the first pass, but I was able to pretty quickly figure out how to use the razor in my left hand.

For the Premium Plastic tag, I assume this brush counts. I paid $75 for it, which included a synthetic knot when I bought it on the Southern Witchcrafts website.

July Christmas to the tune of White Christmas by Irving Berlin.

Lyrics:

I'm dreaming of a July Christmas

Just like the ones I used to know

Where the brush knots glisten

And shavers listen

To hear razors in the soap

I'm dreaming of a July Christmas

With every SOTD I write

May your shaves be merry and bright

And may all your razors shave right
