• Brush: Maggard Razors 30mm Black and White Synthetic #TOLL
• Razor: Henkotsu Kamisori #KAMISORI #STR8SNOB
• Lather: Eleven Shaving - Blue Spruce
• Splash: House of Mammoth - Sonder
• Fragrance: Abbate y La Mantia - Isacco

I bought Blue Spruce specifically for one note soap day, and I'm really glad I did. The scent is so pure, and extremely representative of the trees it's trying to capture. The lather was good. I wish it was slicker, but it has lots of cushion and lathered really easily.

Now you might be wondering what any of these scents have to do with each other. Well, it's a good thing I'm not doing feats of fragrance because I don't think there's anything. What they do have is a connection through branding and artwork. They are each labelled in one of the primary colors. Blue Spruce is blue, Sonder is yellow, and Isacco is red. So boom: relevant soap, post shave, and frag.

The discontinued base I miss the most is Softheart. I bought a tub of Figarose in Softheart a couple months ago and that instantly became my favorite tub of soap, I wish I could buy three more tubs. My current favorite soap base is a tie between Darkwing and CBubs Premium. It's pretty much impossible to mess up either of these when lathering. Premium is the slickest soap I've got, and Darkwing is the king of face feel post shave. I've had more Darkwing shaves without any alcohol splash feedback than I have fingers. This stuff is legit. If you force me to pick I'll pick Darkwing, almost entirely because it lets me use Rougere.

Today's photo theme is Fill the Frame. Please judge the photo linked in the title. #photocontest

The following images and links are justification for the scavenger hunt hashtags. Product listing for the brush to show 60mm loft. Image One showing that the razor is 7/8 at it's widest. Image Two showing my DublDuck, which is a round point, and the Henkotsu, to show that the Henkotsu is not a round point.
