Dec 19, 2024 - Theme Lavendursday: PIF Gift Day

• Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts Purple Hybrid 28mm Declaration Grooming B7 Badger Knot
• Razor: Blutt Rasur BR-1 0.99
• Blade: Gillette Nacet [14]
• Lather: Summer Break Soaps - Trouble Maker - Soap
• Post Shave: Summer Break Soaps - Trouble Maker - Splash
• Fragrance: Summer Break Soaps - Woodshop - Eau de Parfum

For today's theme, I'm using the Trouble Maker set that was PIF'd to me by u/rocketk455. Such a well done dark, lavender scent that paired nicely with Woodshop.

Dec 18, 2024 - BVWSC - End of the Year Edition

• Brush: The Razor Company Cream Soda Acrylic 28mm Synthentic Knot
• Razor: Aylsworth Razors Drakkant Ti
• Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Super Stainless (Green) [6]
• Lather: House of Mammoth - You & I (Will Die) - Soap
• Post Shave: House of Mammoth - You & I (Will Die) - Splash
• Fragrance: Lalique - Encre Noire A L'Extreme - Eau de Parfum

Today's soap, You & I (Will Die), was generously provided by @walden@sub.wetshaving.social. I had already ordered the splash from Anticatura in anticipation of today's BVWSC shave.

This unfortunately named scent opens with airy and light florals, but none of the darker, smokey notes presented themselves. It is still an enjoyable scent, but the marketing does it no favors.

Missing the darker tone of the scent, I opted for the heady and earthy Encre Noir A L'Extreme.

• Blade: Gillette Platinum [13]
• Lather: Spearhead Shaving Company - 3 Scots - Soap (Highland)
• Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Cheshire - Splash
• Fragrance: Declaration Grooming - Chaotic Neutral - Eau de Parfum

Today's tea-themed shave is an homage to a combo of scents previously used by @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social. However, while the scents are the same, they are not represented in the same products, purely out of availability. I was impressed by the way these scents play against each other.
