June 9th, 2025: Dupelgänger

• Brush: Omega - 10077 Boar
• Razor: Manscaped - Plow 2.0
• Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
• Lather: Declaration Grooming - Massacre of the Innocents - Soap
• Post Shave: Chicago Grooming Co. - Irving Park - Aftershave

Daily Theme Justification: While Declaration Grooming’s website doesn’t explicitly state this is a dupe of Parfums De Marly Herod, they share the same scent notes and Herod in the Bible infamously is responsible for killing a bunch of baby boys, thus the name Massacre of the Innocents.

Daily Theme: I enjoyed the scent of this soap on my first use, but glad I only have the sample. For me, it is the same vain as TF Tobacco Vanille, but evolved and more sophisticated and for that reasons I really like it. My mind my change when I use it more. I used Irving Park simply because it is the only splash that I have that’s a dupe. They have few if any similarities, but have a nice contrast.

Daily Challenge: Last year I made an album of memes. This year I decided to do the same. I hope they bring some laughs to your Monday. Note: there are a few gifs sprinkled in.
