July 27, 2023 – Lavendursday

Brush: Edwin Jagger Silvertip Badger
Razor: Blackland Blackbird Ti
Blade: Astra SP (3)
Lather: Summer Break Soaps - Homecoming
Post Shave: Noble Otter – Cerberus Fougere
Fragrance: Duke Cannon – Sea solid cologne

Early morning outdoor shave, what could be better than watch the sun come up while being eaten alive in 80 degree weather.

The Soap/Lather: The scent on homecoming is quite clearly lavender, and I like it. Todays smoosh, courtesy of u/worbx was quite generous, so I went over to the hose and added some water and got going on some nice thick lather.

The Shave: I learned from my kitchen shave and grabbed the kids iPad instead of my wife makeup mirror and set up shop on their table. Just I was beginning my shave I started to itch, and low and behold the damn mosquitos were biting my legs even though I lit 3 citronella candles. Needless to say this put a bit of a damper on the enjoyment, but I soldiered on. While I had initially planned to use my bowl of water for rinsing the razor I happened to have the sprinklers turn on and begin to soak me during the shave. Apparently they aren’t terribly well aimed, but they did provide a nice way to rinse the blade.

Post Shave/Frag: Soaked and poorly shaved I wrapped it up by using Cerberus Fougere. While not the most lavender forward scent, the blend of lavender and greenery easily matched the days shave. I finished it off with Sea as it only seemed right to match the days sprinkler shower shave.

Challenge: I did shave outside on my back patio. I wish I could have gone to a more scenic place, but as my shave took place at 5:30 this morning I didn’t feel like dealing with the sheriff at the parks.
