July 2, 2023 – LG Day 2 – Vegan

  • Brush: r/wetshaving Zentih MOAR BOAR 31mm #chonk
  • Razor: GEM Micromatic Open Comb #brassing
  • Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (1)
  • Lather: Southern Witchcrafts – Labyrinth
  • Post Shave: Barrister and Mann – Seville

Phteven is maker of all things excellent and that includes he and Courtney’s vegan base. Soft and creamy, Labyrinth lathered up like a dream, no tallow needed.

While the base was vegan, the brush was not – it was a whole lot of hog. Rounding out at a whopping 31mm, this thing lathered up Labyrinth with ease and gave a super smooth and moist base which was absolutely necessary because of the SE challenge of the day.

I won a PIF of this old and worn MMOC from u/OnionMiasma last July and consequently used it to win DJ’s AA side challenge – but, like, I still hate it. 2 passes was all I risked and even then I had a nice little throat nick. How you monsters enjoy MMOC razors is beyond me; but, I digress.

Alas, my summer cold is in full swing and I could barely smell Labyrinth or Seville, but, the scent notes tell me that they should at least be loosely connected by some citrus; Labyrinth clearly a darker and more subtle citrus scent with Seville rocking that orange right out the gate.

Subtle connect it may be

Can’t smell anyway
