"Product must be:
     - Explicitly marketed as a Summer scent OR
     - Explicitly marketed for a holiday occuring between Summer Solstice and Autumnal Equinox OR
     - Prominently feature aquatic or citrus accords.
Caveat: Products explicitly marketed for multiple seasons or other seasons do not count (eg. ""Christmas oranges"")."

Thursday, June 20, 2024: Les jeudis du Père Lucien

  • Preshave: Proraso Green Preshave
  • Brush: Zenith 506U XS Horse 🐎
  • Razor: Feather Artist Club SS Kamisori
  • Blade: Feather Pro Guard (4)
  • Lather: Le Père Lucien Narcisse
  • Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel
  • Postshave: Floid The Genuine
  • Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm

Since @[email protected] used a shavette, I used one myself. I still find it easier to get a close shave with a shavette – also because they are sharper. But they lack the pomp and ceremony of a straight razor, which is kind of nice, after all.

Have a good night!
