• Brush: Silit - Silicone baking brush
• Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur 72½ (13/16" hollow ground, stainless steel)
• Backup Razor: Blutt Rasur BR-1 (1.20 mm gap)
• Blade: Astra Superior Stainless Double Edge (blue)
• Lather: Djundjila Farm Works – Mountain-Raised Fresh Chicken Eggs (in Canard base)
• Post Shave: House of Mammoth – Shire
• Fragrance: Chatillon Lux – La Petite Prairie

Since I learned on Where's the Beef Day that some of my favourite bases have duck fat, I new I had to try a YRFCE variant with it. Photo story.

Blending the warm egg yolks with melted duck fat was promising, but things took a turn. The lather is extremely drippy, like dripping everywhere drippy, and wherever it drips, it seemingly instantanously congeals. ugh.

I thought that a straight razor would be the least problematic for this, but I prepared a backup razor with a large blade gap, just in case. The straight was the right choice, though.

Three passes, not a terrible shave, but I think the soapers are onto something with their saponification thingy.

Theme: Well, I'm first

Relevant post and frag: My favourite part of the original YRFCE scent is the clean grass, so I went with grassy post and nominally grassy frag.

Challenge: see last image in the Photo story.
