June 11, 2024 - Magnolias in the dirt

  • Brush: AP Shave Co AP400XL 30mm SynBad
  • Razor: EldrormR Industries MM24
  • Blade: GEM PTFE
  • Lather: Noble Otter - Lonestar
  • Post Shave: Noble Otter - Lonestar
  • Fragrance: Noble Otter - Lonestar

My favorite part of spring, living down here, is walking the dog and just being absolutely assaulted by the scent of Magnolia flowers. Lonestar nails the experience of the outdoors down here absolutely perfectly, balancing the magnolia with sage, hay, and other grassy notes. Post-shaves are relevant by trickhole.

I don't really know how much more praise I can give the otter before somebody starts saying I'm a paid shill. Top tier soap, best splash bar none. I guess you could complain that the fragrances don't really evolve much throughout the day. However, I'm not going to do that because Lonestar is the best scent in wetshaving. I stand by that claim.

Today's daily challenge tied in nicely with the photo contest. I went with the theme of The Elements: Earth. Lonestar is colored like the clay dirt down here in Texas, but unfortunately I don't have that. What I do have is this big rock that matches that same kind of bronze-y color. We're coordinating that reddish-orange bronze color through the packaging of the software, and the choice of brass hardware. It's just a nice coincidence that the SynBad knot also has the kind of bronze-y fibers. I picked this specific rock because of it having that defined split between light and dark, and then tried my best to line up the software containers along the line in reverse color. I really like this picture. #photocontest
