07.03.2023 - Almonday aka Cella Appreciation Day

  • Prep: PAA Cube

  • Razor: Wolfman WR2 #CNC

  • Blade: Personna Lab Blue

  • Brush: Zenith - Pro Aluminum Handle B2 26mm #HOLLOW

  • Lather: Cella - Cella - Soap

  • Post Shave: Cellla - Cella - Aftershave Balm

  • Fragrance: Imaginary Authors - A Whiff of Wafflecone

Quick shave today as I work on an assignment for my grad school class. Not what I wanted to be doing on this holiday weekend but life is busy and it is what it is. I wouldn’t rank it as a favorite but I enjoy the almond scent of Cella, it’s light and doesn’t stick around. It’s also leagues above Proraso in quality and creates a decent lather in the Timeless Bowl I used again. I’ve tried Moon Soaps Amaretto and it was too much scent wise, Cella on steroids to the point of being sickly sweet. This is just right. I also appreciate the balm is not the same scent and compliments instead of matching. To me, it smells like citrus which I approve of and doesn’t hang around. Usually I don’t use frags but today I needed something to keep my mood up. IA Whiff of Wafflecone makes me think of summer (something I’d rather be enjoying than sitting inside writing a paper, at least the weather is crap) and the gourmand nature of the scent with notes of vanilla, cream, caramel and cinnamon compliment the almond in the soap.

Onto celebrating LG22’s reigning champion, u/RedMosquitoMM. To honor him I’m using the razor of champions the Wolfman since that is inevitably the prize that the first place winner goes for. He’s also a member I enjoy talking to on the sub and in the Discord chat. His write ups last year were outstanding and I hope mine today is worthy of honouring him. It’s because of him and his thoughts on blade life that I’ve actually started tracking shaves on a blade to see how the sharpness and smoothness progresses rather than tossing it after 4-ish uses.
