June 3, 2024 - The birds are watching

  • Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts w/ Declaration Grooming B10 #FRANKENBRUSH #SHD
  • Razor: EldrormR Industries Two-Toned MM24 #FLIPTOP #MODERNGEM #RUSTYBUTTRUSTY
  • Blade: GEM PTFE
  • Lather: Chicago Grooming Co. - Rougere
  • Post Shave: Chicago Grooming Co. - Rougere
  • Post Shave: Osma Alum
  • Fragrance: Chatillon Lux - Rose Santal

This is the darkwing re-release of Rougere, so we're in duck fat heaven to be on theme. Splash connected by way of "it's literally the same thing" and frag connected by the rose note. I really love Rose Santal, it's one of my favorites, but I want a Rougere frag so bad.

This shave was great. Darkwing always delivers with the super slick lathers, and this gave me one of the better GEM shaves I've had to date. I normally only pull out the Osma if I get a shave with tons of weepers. That wasn't today, but I used it anyways just for y'all. The things we do for each other.

Photo theme today is Animal (not alive). My late grandfather used to spend his retirement making wooden birds, and this is one of them. It watches me shave every day and keeps an eye on my brush collection. #photocontest
