Share your shave of the day!

If you're participating in the Lather Games on the other website, today's theme is:

Dupelgänger

Product scent must demonstrably be a duplication of another company's fragrance (e.g. Stirling Executive Man is a dupe of Creed Aventus).

Dupelgänger

  • Brush: APShaveCo - Butterscotch with 24 mm Tuxedo knot
  • Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur 14 (8/8", extra hollow ground, stainless steel)
  • Lather: Chicago Grooming Co. - AG 1889
  • Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Friends to the End
  • Fragrance: Maison Francis Kurkdjian - Baccarat Rouge 540

Theme: AG1889 is a dupe of Guerlain Jicky, and it's so good I keep using it despite getting all tingly from using it (yeah, I know).

Relevant post & frag: Bear with me: When I got my set of 1889, I immediately got a fresher version of Baccarat Rouge and said so on the discord. I was met with some push back, but who are you going to trust? My nose or some randos? So the relevance is that 1889 smells like a fresher variant of BR, and Friends to the end is the on theme version of BR. (Or vanilla, if you prefer my critics.)

Great shave with my prized Frio 14, hands down my best razor.

Challenge: A soap label

You'd think so but I was born with that gift

Well, the graphing paper really helps, but credit where credit is due.
