July 27, 2023 – On the Porch on Lavendursday

Brush: Chisel and Hound “Acer Pearl” w/ V20 Fanchurian
Razor: GEM Micromatic Open Comb #brassing
Blade: Personna GEM PTFE
Lather: Summer Break Soaps – Homecoming
Post Shave: Fine Accoutrements – American Blend infused with Lavender Flowers

This shave was one of those Kurt Vonnegut moments, one of this, well if this isn’t nice I don’t know what is moments. I really enjoyed this challenge as I sat on my front porch. Still warm and humid as anything. Quiet slow easy city night.

A special appearance tonight is the shaving storage box made by my father. Apparently this was based off of civil war shaving kits. The mirror folds back in and it closes up. This is my first time using it for its intended purpose.

u/eructate was kind enough to send me the smush of SBS Homecoming and how nice it was. Clean and beautiful. Restrained. I was really impressed and this may be the first purchase to come from smush trading. For the shave I thought the Gem would be the most appropriate as it’s the most “old timey” shave outside razor of mine. For the aftershave I added flowers from my girlfriends French lavender plant and let them infuse for the evening. AB is already so potent so I was worried nothing would come through but it actually added an initial layer of earthiness to the splash and later what smells like a bubblegum sweetness, but not in a bad way, in the middle.

Fine shave on a fine evening. I’ll be sad to see LG go, just soaking up the last couple. Cheers mates. 🤙
