  • Brush: Zenith 508A XL/Bristle (B35) (MOAR BOAR) 31mm #SUBBROOSH #SHD
  • Razor: EldrormR Industries MM24 #MODERNGEM
  • Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (1)
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Smokey Grapefruit - Soap
  • Post Shave: Aqua Velva - Ice Blue - Aftershave
  • Fragrance: G. Bellini - Homme - EdT

No special challenge for me, but I hope everyone who attempts it has good weather.

Smokey Grapefruit smells just like it sounds. Grapefruit is the main scent, with a smokey background similar to what you might smell with tinned smoked herring. Probably a "liquid smoke" type of smoke scent.

Grapefruit is a citrus, so that's my argument for being on theme.

Relevent post-shave and frag: Aqua Velva Ice Blue is a really nice aquatic scent with a hint of menthol. Perfect for summer. G. Bellini Homme is a cheap knockoff of Dior Sauvage I got from Lidl. I'll leave it to the judges discretion, because the fragrantica page for Sauvage doesn't really make it sound citrusy, although bergamot is a top note. This knock-off is a citrus bomb to my nose.
