June 14th, 2025: Ring of death

• Brush: Semogue - 1800 Boar
• Razor: Joseph Rogers & Sons Near Wedge (7)
• Lather: Abbate y La Mantia - Garibaldi - Soap
• Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Petrichor - Aftershave
• Post Shave: Dove - Men+Care Ultra-Hydra - Cream

Theme justification: This tub has a giant ring of death. None of my other tubs are this close to being finished.

Before this shave I smushed it all around to make a flat loading surface. This may have been the best lather I’ve ever gotten with this soap – but it still isn’t my style. It’s sort of a thick wet drippy hair-conditioner type lather. A little bit of slickness, but it seems to put post-shave ahead of all else. I prefer soaps where slickness is the top goal.
