June 25, 2024 - a taste of the dragon's hoard

  • Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts w/ 25mm Muhle STF
  • Razor: Karve Christopher Bradley (brass, SB-D)
  • Blade: Wizamet
  • Lather: Noble Otter - The Night Before
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Santa Noir
  • Fragrance: House of Mammoth - Santa Noir

Full Christmas shave on this glorious 25th evening of June. All three pieces of software are marketed at christmas, making them both thematic and relevant to one another.

Head shave tonight. Noble Otter is probably my favorite base for head shaving. It's very easy to load and gets super slick very fast. It's also really hard to over water, which is good because it's really easy to use way too much water on accident while headshaving. Because of the daily challenge I shaved wearing a mask. It was fine? It basically just meant that I couldn't really enjoy the smell of this soap. This puck is already low on the scent strength and the mask didn't help. One thing the mask may have contributed to is that I cut my ear with one of the blade tabs tonight. First time I've ever done that. Need to pay more attention to where the ears are with the exposed tabs on this razor I guess. I actually have to avoid them now.

I'm so glad I shaved at night with this post shave though. I used the frag this morning before going out, and I think I finally understand what it means for a scent to be season specific. The heat made me absolutely hate this scent today. Wearing this all day really sucked. That said, I do love the scent, so I'm glad I got to use the post shave at night when it's not ruined by the heat of the day.

Photo contest theme for today is Darkness. My dog likes to sleep under the bed on days where it's really really hot outside. This is the coolest room in the house, and I guess that is the coolest spot in the room. I recently bought a big tub to store soaps in so that I could better organize the closet with just the soaps I'm using for whatever season it is. You can't see it in the image, but right behind the dog is that tub of soap. In my head he's the dragon protecting the literal hoard of gold in the dark dungeon known as "under the bed." #photocontest

(I took the blade out of the razor before putting it anywhere near my dog. He was never in any danger, i promise.)
