I have never participated, and I initially thought that me having remotely sufficient gear for the LG would be proof of my total lack of self-control 😬 But here I am.
That being said, I’m not going back on reddit.

I’ll try again Lainess Blue Pearl.
Mystery scent, but it has aquatic component, and is very fresh: Parfait pour les chaudes journées estivales says Le Père Lucien, and he should know, because he’s the only one who knows what’s in it. Also, contains mare milk as an ingredient. If you want to try a full horse AA, this would be the ideal soap. Test it in July, and you’ll be ready for August![^1]

Duodi 2 Prairial an 233 de la Révolution, jour d’Hémérocalle: Buena Vista Club
- Brush: Yaqi 26mm Synthetic Bingcha (Iced Tea)

It is hayfever season, with asthma, headaches and stuffed nose. These are obviously the best conditions to enjoy an unobtainium soap. Aditionnally, and unrelatedly, it is the day of the daylily in the Revolutionary Calendar.
I got some leather (maybe I’m just primed to leather, because in BVWSC, we almost always have some sort of leather in the scent notes), and a generally very enjoyable scent. I was somewhat reminded of Chypre-Siam by Rogue Perfumery, but after verification, there is nearly nothing in common (other than civet, and that I like it).
I don’t believe that I had the soap base figured out, even with a synthetic. Warned, I loaded heavily, but the lather still was rather bubbly. But it gave me a very serviceable shave.
In any case, thanks to @walden@sub.wetshaving.social for this nice discovery, and for a soap that I will unfortunately never use again.
Have a good evening!

Against the grain still feels pretty uncomfortable on my chin
I found the chin area the most difficult (you have to adjust angle permanently), so this is normal. Give it some time, and you will be able to do it without issues.

I guess that like in chess, we may be at a moment where human + AI can still beat AI (or human) alone.
I will maybe try and put my Claude account to good use and try to follow the LGs here

Repeat shave from yesterday. The blade is not the most efficient anymore – but I will probably still push it to 50, and then give up.
Have a good evening!

About a month ago, these glittery green razors started landing in their dens and it’s interesting what happened: exactly half of the razors never showed up in an SOTD post. Cold feet? Secret shaves? Nobody knows.
Is everyone accouted for? Can we exclude accidental beheadings?

Nonidi 19 Floréal an 233 de la Révolution, jour d’Arroche
- Brush: Yaqi 26mm Synthetic Bingcha (Iced Tea)

- Blade: Wilkinson Sword (6)
- Lather: Zingari Man The Watchman
- Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel
- Postshave: Epsilon Blue Mediterranean
- Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm
It was late, and I didn’t want to risk a straight. So, I took out a DE – because what could go wrong? Well, I could cut myself into the lip. The shave was kind of rough, I don’t know whether this is the Wilkinson Sword blade not going well with the R41, or whether I’m too spoiled by straight razors.

Blue Pearl is a good and fresh scent – I definitely recommend the soap, maybe less the after shave.

A quick midday shave (working from home). In its current state, this razor doesn’t give me the closest of shaves. I’m not sure whether I’ll have to adapt my technique to the smile, or whether I should put it back on the stones.
Anyways, have a good day!
