LET'S GO!

  • Brush: Dogclaration LG 2022 Mystery Brush (B16)
  • Razor: EldrormR Industries - GEM Division: MM24
  • Blade: Personna #GEM PTFE
  • Lather: Barrister and Mann โ€” Roam
  • Aftershave: Stirling Soap Co โ€” Varen
  • Fragrance: House of Mammoth โ€” Shire 2

I've been looking forward to u/ShavingInCT's March Madness and u/Enndeegee's and u/tsrblke's side challenges over on the sub!

I'm not confident at all in the bets I submitted to Enndeegee, I have a feeling that quite a few underdogs will get boosted. For instance, by bet today is on Chicago Grooming winning.

Excellent shave today with Soft Hearts Roam, and I stumbled upon a nice scent progression. interestingly, they also have decreasing initial intensity and Roam starts out dominating (unsurprisingly). Already now as I write this up, Varen starts to peak through the fading soap scent. I'm looking forward to Shire taking the lead in a half an hour.

Papa Eld's MM24 was efficient and pleasant as always and the mystery B16's pillowy pampering hit the spot.

Interesting. I assume that most of the challenges will go according to seed order. However, I like being a contrarian in my soap competitions.

This fits with my expectation of a contrarian majority in the sub ๐Ÿ™‚

We'll see. I finally established my contrarian position for the day.
