SOTD by u/kind_simian

LG SOTD 20Jun2024

• Brush: DS Cosmetics Kensurfs ‘23 - 26mm A2S fan synthetic
• Razor: Karve - CB SB-C (Copper)
• Blade: Wizamet - Super Iridium (7)
• Lather: Summer Break Soaps - Cannonball
• Bowl: CaYuen - Dark Nebula, large
• Post Shave: Zingari Man - Aftershave Balm, The Watchman

For today's shave using Summer Break Soaps' Cannonball, a pool themed scent described as, "...an initial burst of of Pineapple and Orange, but the sweetness is quickly cut by the scents of Water, Ozone, and Chlorine, creating a unique and complex scent that is truly perfect for summer". Cannonball is my second favorite aquatic scent following ZM's The Watchman and it does capture the sense of a sunny day at the pool. I all but lived at the pool in the summer as a kid and young teen and this is a great, nostalgic scent.

If I interpreted the Old Hiker daily challenge correctly, the goal is to shave outdoors with a maximum of a single wall in our proximity. My flight leaves today at 5:30am. It is an ungodly hour of the early morning and I am shaving in my backyard in the dark. Only wall within 15 yards of me is my home's back wall. Not sure which is better - that it's very unlikely my neighbors will notice me shaving in the backyard, or that if they do, I will definitely appear insane. Oh well, only two possible sets of witnesses, I have a wooded lot I own between me and the neighbors behind me. Now, if you were expecting a literal hike on a weekday at 3am, you can keep hoping but it ain't happening.

So I shaved standing like doofus in my back yard and... ok.

No worries, only about 30 seconds of video.

That is all.   Tomorrow's LG SOTD will be brought to you from a Four Seasons in Texas. Hoping for challenges I can manage on the road.
