July 9, 2023 – Month of Lather Day 9

  • Brush: DS Cosmetics Carrot handle w/ 26mm 2-band Badger + Synthetic mixed knot #MISTURA
  • Razor: Rex Supply Co. Ambassador XL Adjustable #DIAL
  • Blade: Gillette Perma-Sharp (1)
  • Preshave: Stirling Soap Co. – Unscented
  • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Cheshire
  • Post Shave: Black Ship Grooming – Davy Jones Splash
  • Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. – Unscented Balm
  • Music: Loveninjas - Earl Grey with Honey

Daily Theme: It's early Monday here in Singapore. While I love me some coffee (and will guzzle a full pot once I get to work), to ease my way back into work mode I need a caffeine product that's a little more subtle. Enter Cheshire. As per B&M: We blend American clary sage, bergamot, and small amounts of lavender and patchouli to create a very realistic interpretation of the smell of Earl Grey (the tea, not the man). That works for me.

Daily Challenge: Here is a perspective view of today's shaving station.

The Shave: A thoroughly enjoyable shave. In spite of not really being able to see what I was doing, B&M's Omnibus base was more than slick enough to compensate for my suspect shaving technique. Now I need to clean the kitchen because there is lather everywhere! #ROTY
