SOTD by u/throwa-waaaay

June 16th, 2024

• Prep: Shower
• Brush: Simpsons Chubby 2 Manchurian
• Razor: Gillette RFB
• Blade: Gillette Platinum
• Lather: Cyril R Salter - French Vetiver
• Post Shave: Myrsol - Formula C
• Fragrance: Floris - No. 89

For Father's Day, not only is the lather company I'm using older than me, but every item in today's shave is older than me (80's baby for clarity)

First, the lather; Cyril R. Salter was founded in 1949. And the scent is incredible, it's super peaty. I haven't tried Mike's Vetiver, but it's the best Vetiver I've whiffed.

The razor and blade; both Gillette which was founded in 1901.

Simpson was founded in London in 1919.

Myrsol was founded in Barcelona in the early 1940's. An odd time to found an aftershave company given the geopolitical events at the time.

And finally, Floris, the oldest company in my sotd, which was founded in 1730.

Happy Father's Day to all, and good luck to those scraping lather off their legs today!
