June 15, 2024 – LG24 Day 15 - Near Death Experience

Daily Theme & Relevant Post/Frag: The vast majority of my soap tubs are nearly full. Fú Dào is the exception as it is around 50% used and is by far the closest to finishing. Mandarin orange is a predominant scent of Fú Dào, and I leaned into citrus with my post and frag. The post (a Victoria's Secret Very Sexy for Him dupe) and the frag (a Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò dupe) both have citrus as their primary accords, and I find them to be very complimentary to the lather.

Daily Challenge & Shave: There was a time (when I didn't know any better) that my typical lather was dry, pasty, and sticky. Thanks to the r/wetshaving wiki, I have learned how to make nice, good, wet lather and I am disappointed in myself when I fail to do so. Against my better judgement, I have reached back in time and build the pastiest lather I could. I'm glad I chose the Shick Adjustable with Shick Injector blade today, because it wasn't bothered by the pasty, sticky lather. Considering how pathetic my lather was, the shave wasn't half bad. For the most part I avoided razor burn, but multiple weepers on my lower neck reminded me that today's lather sucked.
