Friday, December 20, 2024: Pine Tar Appreciation Day

  • Brush: Zenith/Stirling - 510SE-XL 31mm boar brush
  • Razor: Gillette - Super Speed Black Tip
  • Blade: Gillette - 'The Spoiler' Super Stainless (1)
  • Lather: Chiseled Face - Pine Tar
  • Post Shave: Stirling - Arkadia Aftershave splash
  • Post Shave: Ginger's Garden - Unscented Aftershave balm (+ menthol)
  • Fragrance: Stirling - Arkadia EdT

Seeing u/Old_Hiker giving Pine Tar some love yesterday reminded me that I haven't used this soap in a while. I decided to join him in his tarry appreciation today and was rewarded with a superlative shave.

This soap feels wonderful on the face. It has a softness that is delightful, and I quite enjoy the scent even though it is a pretty simple one. Sometimes less is more.

Super Speed did great, everything else clicked.

I'm grateful to have made it to the weekend. I don't have to be back at work until January 2nd, so I'm looking forward to some relaxation and family time.

Have a good one y'all.
