Thirsty Thursday

  • Brush: Chisel and Hound Scholar V20
  • Razor: EldrormR Industries MM24 #FLIPTOP #MODERNGEM
  • Blade: Personna PTFE Coated Stainless GEM
  • Lather: Chicago Grooming Co. - Armonia
  • Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Cologne Russe Aftershave Balm
  • Fragrance: House of Mammoth - Smash

Daily Gratitude
Thanks to ShavinginCT for the soap and fragrance sample. Thanks to EldrormR for including some free blades with my MM24. Thanks to our wonderful judges and other people for putting this whole thing together.

Daily Mistakes
None, I am perfect.

Daily Writeup
Writing this after work, I originally was going to do it right after I shaved but then someone asked me to cover their shift and I couldn't refuse so I didn't have time to do a writeup. Ngl today's shave was very tobacco smelling and I smelt like a smoker at work lol. Pretty good base though! It's also been a while since I've used the good ole Scholar V20 and man badger is so much better than synthetic lol. There's a big gap in my collection for some badger brushes so I might start the hunt for a nice DG brush secondhand. Today was the first time I had bacon in years and it was terrible, not much more to say.

Daily Theme Points
The scent for Armonia was crafted for Chicago Grooming Co. by House of Mammoth.

Daily Relevant Post Shave & Fragrance Points
For the fragrance I went with House of Mammoth Smash because it's another tobacco scent by House of Mammoth. For the aftershave I went with Cologne Russe because it's another darker matching kind of scent and I thought why not throw in a 3rd artisan in the mix and have a super collab shave!

Daily Challenge
For the song I went with probably my favorite song, Misty, specifically the Ella Fitzgerald version. Pretty good song especially for a band kid like me, the first time I heard this was when I was in 7th grade and decided to go to the high school jazz band concert, a kid name Alec was the lead alto at the time and he had a killer solo and that was the first decent saxophone playing I've ever heard, so this song is always special to me.

Hardware Scavenger Hunt
No new hashtags because I'm too lazy to change razors and have to make new hashtags, I just copy paste. If you want to see my reasoning for these hashtags look at my previous SOTDs.

Photo Contest
Comedy! If you can't read the note it says: Knock knock Who's There? Freep Freep Who? Free Poo? ew

TL;DR
I win rookie of the year thank you very much give me my prize.
