July 8, 2023 – LG23 Day 8: Maggard Razors Day

• Brush: Maggard Synthetic
• Razor: Maggard – V3M MRP Purple Handle #RAINBOW
• Blade: Gillette Winner (5)
• Lather: Maggard Razors – London Barbershop
• Post Shave: Maggard Razors – London Barbershop
• Fragrance: Stirling Soap Co. – D-503 – EdT

Happy Maggard Razors Day! It wasn’t too long after I took up wetshaving that I found Maggard’s. In fact it was only 8 months. My first order was on October 16, 2019–a pair of razor heads to test out my conspiracy theory that the 89-style head was not an exclusive design. By the following month, I had already planned a trip there for Mrs_Donut’s and my 25th wedding anniversary. Soon everyone in the family was an attempted convert to wet shaving and that also makes today donor day. I’ve borrowed my soap and splash from Jr_Donut and the purple razor/brush combo from Li’l_Donette, both of whom were beneficiaries of that Maggard visit.

I’ll give a bonus nod to Stirling, my first artisan, for the fragrant finish today. London Barbershop is unique, so far, in that there don’t seem to be many fragrances that have the same blend of scents. However, I took a sniff of D-503 from the u/scarpux traveling box of samples and knew immediately that I could make it work. My nose detected the complimentary citrus and oakmoss notes that would tie the shave into a nice decorative bow.

Daily Challenge I find the DQT amusing in and of itself. Occasionally I come up with a question. Or an answer. But sometimes it’s fun to lob a lowball and see who hits.

EDIT: Bonus Question

Happy day 8!
