June 15th, 2025: Father’s Day

• Brush: Omega - 10048 28mm Boar
• Razor: GEM - Micromatic Open Comb
• Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (7)
• Lather: Proraso - Red - Soap
• Post Shave: Mennen - Skin Bracer - Aftershave
• Fragrance: Le Labo - Oud 27 - EdP

Theme: All of these companies (except the frag) were established before I was born.

Challenge: Unfortunately there was no chance for me to do extra for my shave today. Though, personally, I’d argue that the quality shave and excellent scents from this afternoon were $selfcare enough to justify calling it a spa day.

$FOF - Oud 27, which was an anniversary gift from my wife, is a real stanky funky oud scent. It plays really nicely with the sandalwood in Proraso Red and the green/powder vibe of Skin Bracer. I love the progression of this scent. It starts super animalic and funky and fades into a lovely warm spiciness. I may have to grab a full bottle of the frag when this decant is finished.
