June 6 Lather: First Line Shave/Black Mountain Shaving - Sutton Distilled

• Brush: Chisel & Hound Newsprint Fanchurian v22
• Razor: Rockwell 6S (plate 4)
• Blade: Gillette PermaSharp
• Lather: First Line Shave/Black Mountain Shaving - Sutton Distilled - Soap
• Post Shave: Chicago Grooming Co - AG1889 - Magic Splash
• Fragrance: First Line Shave/Black Mountain Shaving - Sutton Distilled - Edp
• Music: Moonshiner - Bob Dylan

TODAY’S THEME: Whiskey. 🥃. From the Artisan: “This is a relentless and unforgiving whiskey.” Yup. And the EDP is absolutely glorious. Highly recommended for those looking for whiskey scent. I have the full trifecta, but to honor today’s sponsor, I used Chicago Grooming Co.’s AG 1889 magic splash. Surprisingly, it layered in between Sutton Distilled extremely well. With Bob Dylan‘s song, Moonshiner, off of the bootleg series volume 1-3, playing on repeat in the background, a fabulous 20-minute shave today. Nice base, amazing scent, stunning vocals (seriously, for those who think Bob Dylan can’t sing, listen to moonshiner).

Cheers.

TODAY’S CHALLENGE: Not gonna record a shave to protect my secret identity, but I’ll play. I don’t watch wetshaving YouTube videos any longer, but when I first started, I watched a ton of them as I was learning the ropes. In the spirit of IMCDB, here are my top five wetshaving Youtubers. Granted, I haven’t heard them all, but I watched a million a few years back.

1. IMCDB: I found him to be super engaging. Loved his lists. Devoured them. Skipped the PAA, but dug the rest. My scent wheelhouse didn’t exactly coincide with his; he was typically more into the fruitier scents, and I was more into the natural/earthy smells. But I still dug his lists.

2. Latherhog: He got me into Mammoth. Enjoyable, knowledgeable.

3. KevyShaves: who doesn’t like listening to that Scottish accent? Super engaging.

4. Greg Tardif: funny, goofy. This is a goofy hobby.

5. Michael Freedberg: The best. So helpful and informative. As I was starting out I learned more from him than any other YouTuber-about things like how to build a good lather, razor technique, etc. I think he and a couple of these guys are no longer YouTubers-too bad for those just getting into this.

I guess I’ll have to listen to visceralwatch.

SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT: I have 2 sets. Armonia (gotta catch all of Ben’s smells) and the 1889 that I used today. Good stuff-the soap base is superb and Magic Splash is as good as it gets. How can we not be grateful for making Mammoth more widely available?

QUOTE OF THE DAY: “They say whiskey will kill ya, but I don’t think it will.”

—Bob Dylan
