LG SOTD, DAY 2: ATLANTIC STORIES EXHIBIT SPECIAL EDITION OF OUR SUNDAY'S LITERARY SUPPLEMENT

LG theme: Ahoy, Lather Games!

PHOTOCONTEST

Theme: Pirates (small Han Solo miniature figure, justification sources here about Han Solo pirate's history; in case judges are revisionist SW historians who dispute that Han shot first, I also included pictures of the real pirate Roberts and of his fantasy dupe, the Dread Pirate Roberts)

Special challenge: Paleontology

Prep: Barrister and Mann - Hand & Boady Soap: Spice

  • Brush: Aurora Grooming - LG24 multicolor LE with Oumo 26mm synthetic knot
  • Razor: Henson AL-13 Medium - Blue #CNC #RAINBOW
  • Blade: Gillette Silver Blue [1]
  • Lather: Henri et Victoria - Navigateur (Maggard Meetup Sample)
  • Post Shave: Murphy & McNeil – Granuaile AS Balm
  • Fragrance: Chatillon Lux – Admiral (sample)

Now, as Reddit keeps preventing me from posting the essays requested as punishment by many pirate prisoners, let's see if this workaround works:

Now, for today’s FOF: OUTSTANDING PAIRING!

As an aquatics- ozonic- and oceanic- averse wetshaver, I was not expecting such an amazing journey. HeV Navigateur opens with a nice lavender-jasmine accord that evolves into a pretty quasi-fougère, the kind of non-controversial scent that may easily accompany you while you need to focus your brain on the navigation maps. Granuaile, at least in its balm form, smells like the masculine sunscreen lotion I didn’t know I wanted: the so called “white leather” notes smell rounded and suave, with a levity that I reminds me more of soft suede than of sturdy leather. The gunpowder note shot by Granuail’s ship cannon gave just the right, gentle kick (less prominent than in, say, HoM Fu Dao), to accurately propel me and make me land on the deck of CL’s Admiral.

Admiral’s herbal aromatics of lemongrass and verbena then gave a new lift to my combined scent trail, while the riverboat smoke provided the perfect segue to my pirate adventures, seamlessly fusing with the gunpowder waves that occasionally resurface on my skin.

FOF

You have reached the end of the exhibition, but rest assured that today's gunpowder trail will keep leading us to tomorrow's theme...
