July 5, 2023 – What Fresh Hell  

• Brush: Stirling Synthetic  
• Razor: Maggard V3  
• Blade: Gillette Silver Blue   
• Lather: Gillette – Pure  

Well. This is awful. I usually apply goop by hand the way Satan intended but here I thought I’d see if a brush improved matters. It doesn't. The soap provides a possible amount of lubrication but its a pain to rinse the razor and my skin feels dry and weird after. It’s been a year since I shaved with goop and I had forgotten how bad it is. We call it the LatherGames but today is the spirit of the Hunger Games. An annual reminder of the way it used to be, back when we all shaved with goop daily. Before the peace and prosperity brought to us by Maggard’s and purveyors of decent soap.

For anyone that cares I purchased my goop from the local grocery reject store (grocery outlet).

Challenge: Jasmine. Give me a solid Jasmine soap. Not one with hints, not one with this ‘floral but masculine’ bs. I want that first wiff to transport me home to the wafting smell of the 8ft night blooming Jasmine trellis by the front door. If we are getting fancy Id also like to include the smell of a pine forest after the rain. I don’t have any clue how that would work, but it definitely does in my fantasyland.
