Theme: Roam Two is currently my favorite soap. It's another that brings me back to living in New Mexico. Especially the juniper that comes through more in the splash and frag. It's the only set I have backups for, and I want to grab another bottle of the EdT at some point.

Challenge: Photo of my current favorite setup..

If I'm being honest with myself, the Omega 10048 is my favorite brush. It's probably the cheapest brush I own, and the handle is super light and hollow, but it lathers amazingly for me. The tips keep getting softer, and the knot itself holds on to the perfect amount of water. It's like my "old pair of jeans" brush: reliable, comfortable, easy.

For a razor, it was a toss-up between the CF Legacy and the MMOC. I ultimately went with the Legacy because I find it gives an efficient shave while also being much more comfortable. This razor does well with any blade that I give it, but it performs especially well with these Personna blades. I'm very glad to have this in my den.

$SELFCARE - I took my time with my shave this evening; it was the perfect way to wind down at the end of the day. Ultimately, that's why I got into this hobby in the first place. It's been so good for me to have a little daily window of self-care every day. I'm very grateful for it.

$FOF - This was my only dickhold all month, and I'm not at all ashamed. Roam Two really is a journey from the sweet grass and black currant in the soap to the leather, juniper, ginger, tobacco, sage, and pepper in the splash and EdT. The combination perfectly paints, for me, the American high desert. Truly amazing.
