  • Brush: Chisel & Hound Lost Nativ 26mm Fanchurian V13
  • Razor: Gillette Slim Aristocrat H4 (setting: 4)
  • Blade: Feather Hi-Stainless (2)
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Sharp Dressed Man - Soap
  • Post Shave: Thayers - Cucumber - Toner
  • Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Sharp Dressed Man - Aftershave
  • Fragrance: Creed Green Irish Tweed  

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

In addition to being a dupe of Creed Green Irish Tweed, Sharp Dressed Man is a ZZ Top song that was released in the '80s when MTV was a novelty. A more fitting guitar for the photo would have been a 1959 Les Paul which which is the same model as Billy Gibbons' famous "Pearly Gates". My son's Statocaster was at hand so I used it.

I shave in the morning and plan my shave the night before so I have time to think about a photo. After checking today's challenge, I took a phone-photo of Sharp Dressed Man and texted to my daughter who was visiting. I asked her to do a quick sketch of the label while I figured out the SOTD photo composition; thinking that I would do a separate photo of her sketch when it was done. She handed me her sketch shortly before I finished so I just included it in today's SOTD photo.
