Today I took a stab at u/tsrbike in the discord that his post from yesterday was so boring that I couldn't find anything to start a spite shave with it(he called me a chicken).
Well, today you'll get a very boring SOTD, as he said "They can't be all bangers".
I want to start off with the WECK, this is a gift from u/Onionmiasma, he sent it over around the end of last year, following all the hype around THE WECKONING that was AA. So I first tried this sucker in December, and let me tell you, this thing shaves beyond good. It is hands down the best shavette I've ever tried. Today I had the best shave of the whole LG so far. So smooth and amazing depth of shave to go along with it. As I've heard it is very important as to what type of blade you use. I have Personnas, but I have not tried them yet, but the Fromm blade is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good. People say that Kismets are the GOAT blade for the WECK. Haven't tried them yet, but I really can't fathom how much better it can get.
As for the soap theme, this soap is thanks for u/FrankieIVfingers, he was generous enough to send it as an addition to the wonderful tub of Mystic Water. Sadly I cannot say anything about Dr. Jon's, because by the time we discovered or gave Dr. Jon's the time of the day they went out of business. So it isn't something that brings back nostalgic memories.
For scent theme, today was MY Lavender day and I tried to mix things as best I could. Dr. Jon's has a very solid lavender scent, a no bullshit type of lavender, and that's why I decided to top it off with a fancy Ethos lavender, the two of which actually complemented each other quite well. I don't have a lavender EdP, but I thought that Fox in the flowerbed by IA was quite fitting, and to an extent it did, but for me the tulip note in that fragrance is a bit too strong.
I'm pretty happy how the photo turned out actually, cause of the name of the soap.
Daily Challenge
I went ahead yesterday and got a jump start on today's challenge. Here it is.
Why did I do this? Well becuase I've NEVER used W_E, I first stumbled upon this forum, then after some time learned about W_E, went there ONCE, saw how hectic it was and said, HEEEEELLL NAAAAAWWWW, and never returned. So I decided to create some content than rather sit here and say "Weeeell I got jack shit".
So I meme'd it up ahead of MEME day and it went better than expected, it turned out more of a r/ws thread than a r/w_e one.
There was one guy who was actually honest and provided great advice and patience, if only r/W_E was filled more with people like that.
