Jul. 2, 2023 -To Moo or not to Moo, that is the question

  • Prep: CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser

  • Brush: Stirling Soap Co. 2 Band Synthetic

  • Razor: GEM MMOC #BRASSING

  • Blade: GEM PTFE

  • Lather: Soap Commander - Courage

  • Post Shave: Lucky Tiger - After Shave & Face Tonic

  • Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Unscented Balm

  • Fragrance: Imaginary Authors - The Cobra and The Canary

Day 2 and unfortunately I have to pull out this Soap Commander soap to fulfill the theme, I don’t have an issue with vegan soaps on principle but this one just doesn’t live up. I recently used this soap and was reminded of how mediocre it is. There are some absolutely great vegan soaps out there! I could’ve pulled out a Southern Witchcraft or Catie’s Bubbles soap and had a much nicer experience today but I already have those brands elsewhere in my calendar so here we are!

#(ICan’tBelieveIt’sNot)ButterTheToast day sponsored by u/OnionMiasma. I got this MMOC in a PIF from him last year with the requirement of using it during AA. Had a great August taming the beast and it helped kickstart my GEM collection! I had a fair amount of choices for todays razor and almost grabbed my MM24 (my favorite GEM) but decided to use the MMOC instead. Working to get some hashtags going early on and this one has more brassing on it!

For my #photocontest submission of the day could there be anything other than a cow in the picture? The only question is what day does it qualify for? #Food? Not really, I eat my fair share of beef but not sure this really works here. #Pets? I know people with pet cows but also have had packs of ground beef in my freezer labeled “Beaufort” so this doesn’t work either. That leaves the #WildAnimals tag for today. Yes I know that cows have been domesticated and aren’t totally “wild” anymore but I would say this qualifies. The only little issue is the Note saying “alive only” but seeing as that is a note and not a rule I’m opting to ignore that in my quest for greatness! #AirBud Also tried to pull in other items in my shave with the Lucky Tiger aftershave and The Cobra & The Canary fragrance!
