    • Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts with Declaration Grooming B10
    • Razor: Gillette NEW SC
    • Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (2)
    • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Amazelnut - Soap
    • Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Leviathan - Aftershave

    Great evening shave. I like Amazelnut but a Leviathan finish takes it to another level. The NEW SC performed perfectly as always. DE razors don’t get much better than this.

    This is my favorite SOTD photo. I made it in July during Lather Games. Today’s version is cropped and shaded a little differently but it’s the same photo. I spent four days to get this photo. In July, in Maryland, the mosquito is the apex predator. Neither the squirrels nor I wanted to be at ground level.

    The squirrel is real. The pile of nuts she is eating was taken out with PhotoShop.

    How do I know this is a female squirrel? Well, I’ve been feeding squirrels and getting to know their personalities since January of this year. This little lady has been a regular since the spring. She’s a real character.
