Later First! Challenge Shave!(Shave First! Challenge Later!)

If you're here, you're probably a bit nuts! What do I mean by that? To get ahead and achieve greatness in the LG, you can't JUST shave in the confinement of your own home, it's just not enough! So what did I do? Well I went to work and I shaved there! For musicians there is no Saturday or Sunday. Everyday can be a work day, and such was today. We had a nice long gap between the general rehearsal and the concert so I took my chance and shaved! Honestly it was a first for me and I quite enjoyed it, I was lucky cause everyone had already left quickly after the rehearsal so I had some peace and quiet!

Today's lather theme is "Bay Rum, Old Spice or Old Spice dupe, etc. etc. Everyone knows u/cowzilla3 and his "Great Spice off" where he goes into intricate detail about known and not so known soaps by artisans with the scent profile of Old Spice dupes. While I did not choose an Old Spice dupe, I just wanted to pay my respects to this man. I read his posts with great pleasure and know that I have a source of great knowledge when one day I want to find the truest of true Old Spice dupes.

A bit about the shave:

• Brush: Now this is a brush that a friend of mine has made from scratch. The handle is made from the wood Thuja and the knot is an Omega Proraso. It is a super broken in brush and feel great in the hand and on the face! Same guy has also forged his own Kamisori, I'm really envious of people like that!
• Razor: After yesterday's "Something New theme", which happened to be a very old razor. I decided to go with something modern for today and probably my favourite DE(also my 2022 LG prize) the Timeless Ti 0.95. I can try and wax poetics about it, but most of you have tried it and are very familiar with Timeless. It is a great piece of shaving hardware that performs as good as it looks. It's a perfect combination between depth of shave and gentleness on the face! I love it!
• Lather: I know that Nordic Shaving Company isn't the most popular manufacturer here, and there probably is a reason. Today I was reminded about something. I. HATE. COCONUT. SOAPS. Seriously, it wasn't terrible, but when compared with almost every American artisan, they just suck ass, big puffy lather that can't hold much lather.... Awful. Which is sad, cause the owner is a really great and generous guy and the scents while simple are very well done. Speaking of scents, I wouldn't say this is your typical Bay Rum scent, unlike most Bay Rums scents, this one isn't as spicy
• Post Shave: First time using an aftershave by the company Georgian! All I can say is that it's good skin food, great even and it's a typical well done Bay Rum(at least to my sniffer).

Comment with Daily Challenge continues bellow, I have no idea why Reddit does this.... I really hope this isn't a problem, please judges, tell me if this is ok. I never had this issue last year, and my posts aren't longer than last year.
