SOTD 11.01.2024

  • Prep: warm water
  • Razor: Pearl Blaze w/ RazoRock bamboo handle
  • Blade: Rapira Platinum Lux
  • Brush: AP Shave Co. 30 mm Tuxedo Fan w/ black & clear handle
  • Lather: Southern Witchcrafts - Gravefruit II (scent by Shawn Maher)
  • Post Shave: Thayer's Aloe Vera toner; Stirling Orange Chill ASB
  • Fragrance: Coach - Platinum EdP sample

So today seems to be collab day. The only soap that I have that fits the bill is GF2 by SW. The scent for it was developed by Shawn Maher so that's as good of a collab I can get.

Gravefruit II reminded me of warmer days, a very welcome reminiscence to summer during a very cold period. Today we had -13°C in the morning and everything was covered in ice. Tomorrow it's supposed to be a bit milder, but more icy surfaces.

One pass head shave. The Blaze with the stainless steel Bamboo style handle works good for head shaving, the grooves on the handle are really nice. However, despite the fresh RPL blade, my shave wasn't as close as usual. But good enough for nursing school tomorrow.

This EdP sample, while pleasant, is sadly again something that doesn't seem very interesting to me. Nothing really stands out. No complaints but also no compliments on it either.
