Saturday, June 29, 2024: Et Ego in Arcadia


After a long time, good-bye stubble! Very nice shave, with a satisfyingly creamy lather (much better than the Cella I used while traveling).

Have a good night!

Do you still enjoy l'ours russe?

Yes, I definitely don't regret having bought it! It's vers different from the Koraats or the TI thoughs

Good to hear! Maybe I'll have to spring for one soon too :)

I don't think you'll regret it!

Sandalwood Saturday, The Penultimate Challenge

  • Brush: Zenith r/Wetshaving exclusive MOAR BADGER (Silvertip) #SUBBROOSH
  • Razor: Eversharp-Schick Hydro-magic (I2, NOS)
  • Blade: Personna Injector Blade
  • Lather: Proraso – Sandalwood
  • Post Shave: Taylor of Old Bond Street – Sandalwood
  • Fragrance: Le Labo – Santal 33

I can't believe that LG is already almost over again!

Theme: Proraso Red is a dry, warm, slightly dirty sandalwood scent.

Relevant post and frag: Both the post and frag are completely sandalwood-forward frags. I smell like dry twigs on a sunny patch of forest floor.

Challenge: It would be a bit unethical for me to answer since I know the current rankings. Well, now I do, but I knew this challenge would come, and I answered today's challenge on day 1, before I had relevant knowledge. Here's my answer:

  • Main ROTY will go to u/MudAccording. He's going full hog right out of the gate. The other two roty prizes are random so your guess is as good as mine.
  • photocontest goes to u/Crossan1983, that black and white shot looks well set up, like he means business.
  • FoF u/Hugbckt: Great write-up, someone to watch.
  • LG goes to u/Tsrblke. He was a joy to follow last year, and this first post looks like he's full of energy this year, plus, he has that racing team!
  • No Scruba: The real winner here is going to be everyone (awww!) I'm looking forward to u/Enndeegee's no scrub list, and dread his scrub list.

  • Brush: Summer Break Soaps w/Maggard 28mm Silvertip Badger
  • Razor: Wolfman Guerilla (Gen 1)
  • Blade: Bolzano Superinox (German) (17)
  • Lather: Proraso - Red - Soap
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Santa Noir - Aftershave
  • Fragrance: Stirling Soap Co. - Varen - EdT

Proraso Red is the only soap I have, that I know of, that has any sandalwood in it at all. Luckily it's all sandalwood, so there's no question about it meeting the requirements of today's theme.
