June 25th, 2025: Christmas in June

• Brush: Omega - Bambino Boar
• Razor: Chiseled Face - Legacy Ti
• Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
• Lather: Southern Witchcrafts - Desairology - Soap
• Post Shave: Mäurer & Wirtz - Tabac - Aftershave

Daily Theme: Thank you to u/Gaidin23 for this soap today. It was an entirely full sample of Desairology, and folks, this was given to me after SW closed up shop. I’d been interested in this scent when I got first into wetshaving and barbershop scents shortly after, but never followed through with picking it up. I am glad to have tried a sample of it because while it is an interesting take on a barbershop, I don’t know if a full tub would have my name on it. It has the usual SW flair on it and I smell something dark and animalic in it, which is not necessarily a bad thing. I pair Tabac as a relevant post shave because it too has an animalic funk, but is balanced out by the soapy like Stank we all know and love.

Daily Challenge: Honestly, this might not be too out there, but Glace Herbe in the Premium Base would honestly be really cool. The Haitian Vetiver has the perfect blend of being simple, yet fairly complex as a standalone scent. Grassy, earthy, tinge of smokiness, and sweetness mixed in menthol would be a soap that I could use year around with no complaints at all. Another one would be CF Trade Winds in Prem base and hoping it would not give me frag burn because that is one of my favorite scents ever.
