• Brush: Maggard mixed Badger/Boar 24mm #MISTURA
• Razor: Razorock Game Changer .84
• Blade: Gillette Platinum (18)
• Lather: House of Mammoth – Almond Leather
• Post Shave: House of Mammoth – Almond Leather

Almond Leather is, in my opinion, the best almond scent in the shaving world. It's wonderfully simple and complex all at the same time. Almond dominates up front, but the leather provides a strong base to keep it from just being an overly sweet marzipan-esque scent like many traditional Italian almond soaps.

For the daily challenge, I was planning on writing in the style of u/RedMosquitoMM, but it turns out that I cannot write anywhere near as well as Mosquito can. So, I had the brilliant idea of using a red brush (since my shaving mosquito is out of commission). Apparently my photography and lighting skills are even worse than my writing because that definitely looks very brown, and not at all red. So, uh, maybe just pretend it's red in the pictures?

Mammoth Monday to the tune of Manic Monday by The Bengals

Lyrics:

Six o'clock already

I was just in the middle of a shave

I was latherin’ shave soap

Got that Almond Leather scent that I crave

But if I can't lather

Then I guess I just won't get shaved

These are the days

When you wish your face was already shaved

It's just another Mammoth Monday

I wish it was Sunday

'Cause that's my shave day

When I don’t have to slave away

It's just another Mammoth Monday

Almond Leather is, in my opinion, *the* best almond scent in the shaving world. It's wonderfully simple and complex all at the same time. Almond dominates up front, but the leather provides a strong base to keep it from just being an overly sweet marzipan-esque scent like many traditional Italian almond soaps.
