• Prep: CeraVe - Hydrating Facial Cleanser

• Brush: Summer Break Soaps Grant w/AP Shaveco G5C #FAUXFUR

• Razor: Merkur 34c

• Blade: Personna P74

• Lather: Shannon's Soaps - Lavender Lemongrass

• Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Reserve Lavender Splash

• Fragrance: House of Mammoth - Beloved

When I first started wetshaving I was very hesitant of floral scents and avoided pretty much everything with floral scents. Over the past couple years my opinion has changed a bit and now really enjoy some floral scents! I wouldn’t normally use a sus soap like Shannon’s but 30 brands on theme is difficult without branching out a little. Either this soap has way too much frag in it or I have a sensitivity to lemongrass because my face is a little tingly today. Thankfully got to round out the shave with two wonderful Lavender central scents in Reserve Lavender and Beloved.

For todays challenge I had a dilemma in front of me. I typically shave all natural but since I have neighbors this led me to a decision to make. Either shave outside or put on clothes. I chose the latter, threw on some shorts, walked past my wife looking at me like this and set up on the back porch. I had a great view of our 75+ feet of cut flower garden to enjoy during the shave!

Todays #photocontest theme is another no brainer of #flowers
