  • Brush: Stirling x Zenith 510SE-XL
  • Razor: Schick Injector
  • Blade: Schick Injector
  • Lather: Mitchell’s Wool Fat – Mitchell’s Wool Fat
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth – Shire 2

I have all brands older than me today. MWF from the 1930s, zenith from the 1900s, Schick from the 1920s, and House of Mammoth from historic ice age times as the name implies (how else would scents like Shire be possible, which existed before the reign of man). The scent from MWF is subtle and old timey. Some of the best descriptors I could put to it is clean, fresh, and soapy. Some would maybe say laundry sheets too. It’s a timeless scent. I think it is most reminiscent of powder, classic clean powder. Leading me to remember the scent as I once did. Baby shampoo. My mother ran a daycare from our house growing up so I encountered the scent a lot. It’s what you can almost smell in those 1980s photos of a baby on a clean blanket, looking like a Gerber model. Coincidentally I am reminded of this on Father’s Day, which I will get to be a part of next year with an expecting wife. So to make Father’s Day even more real, I decided to use a noble otter rawr brick in the shower today. Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers (and those soon to be).

Leg day - no.

I did DIY for my theme today, complete with tools of the trade. I stink at fixing things or house stuff but am a half decent DIY landscaper. And I’m good at moving things. #photocontest
