June 23, 2024 - donuts again?

• Brush: Zenith 28mm Unbleached Boar
• Razor: Karve Christopher Bradley (brass, SB-D)
• Blade: Wizamet
• Lather: Talent Soap Factory - Cakehole
• Post Shave: Noble Otter - The Noir et Vanille
• Fragrance: Imaginary Authors - A Whiff of Wafflecone

Huge shoutout to /u/Priusaurus for today's soap smush. This stuff is pure cake batter. Very gourmand. The frag is also very gourmand, I got to spend all day smelling like an ice cream parlor, and I loved it. Lastly the splash also meets our gourmand criteria as a tea inspired scent featuring black tea, vanilla, and, for some reason, strawberries extremely prominently. I really don't understand why this isn't a strawberry scent when it's a main component to my nose.

Today's shave went well. I'm getting better with the D plate on this Karve. This is my first time using TSF, and the base is good enough that I want a tub, but it's not so good I'm willing to buy a random scent. Going to have to find one that really captivates me and Cakehole is not it. I hate this scent. This is what cakes should smell like, not people. This is weird because I absolutely love A Whiff of Wafflecone. I think it's something about Cakehole being a thing that just smells like cake, where Wafflecone evokes a mood and experience. Wafflecone is better at being a metaphor, while Cakehole is just cake. I hope that makes sense.

I shaved in my kitchen. It went fine. I'm used to shaving without a mirror at this point thanks to these challenges. It also helps that I normally shave without my glasses on, so it's not like I can see myself in the mirror anyways.

Today's photo contest theme is Sugar & Sweets. We're double dipping on the donuts to hit this theme, but this time I've got fancy donuts. I oringally was going to use the doll shaped like a person to create a serial killer scene, but they didn't have any with eyes at the donut shop this afternoon, so they don't look enough like people for that. Oh well. #photocontest
