• Brush: Dogwood – Badger  
• Razor: Merkur 34C  
• Lather: Dr. Jon’s – Flowers in the Dark  

Theme: Dr.Jons is missed. A quality vegan base with excellent gender neutral scents.

Challenge. I avoid that sub for good reason but here goes:

Ended the day in the most masculine of ways…with a 20 minute skincare routine using expensive and specialized products. Used a beautiful dogwood brush to lather this classic vegan base. Don’t worry, for a soap with Flowers in the title and a forward note of lavender there is plenty of woody and earthy undertones to keep from compromising the inherent manliness of wet shaving. All those sniffing my legs later can rest assured this is what lavender for men smells like and will never confuse it with girly lavender. No cuts, just smooth skin as can be expected after years of casually shaving with this mostly enclosed blade originally marketed for its simplicity and safety.
