    Near Death Experience

    • Brush: Zenith 506B MB (27 mm × 51 mm Manchurian badger)
    • Razor: Fatip - Lo Storto - Testa Dentata
    • Blade: Mühle
    • Lather: Mickey Lee Soapworks – The Kraken
    • Post Shave: Zingari Man – Nomad
    • Fragrance: Imaginary Authors – Every Storm a Serenade

    Theme: The Kraken was a PIF I received three years ago and it’s a true zombie: it qualifies as “Near Death” by this year’s theme definition (Photographic evidence with podophilic material for my co-djudges u/J33pGuy13 and u/VisceralWatch) and qualified as dead (“Rest in Pieces”) in previous iterations for being unobtainium by a defunct vendor.

    Relevant post and frag: I’m leaning into the nautical theme here. Kraken is (aside the obvious branding) an aquatic scent, Nomad is a Bay Rum, and Every Storm a Serenade is a green aromatic scent, that is still nautically themed for some reason, inspired my an obsession with Ulv, a Danish Seafarer.

    Challenge: I went pasty today. Really a sad affair with this new to me Zenith brush (second use today) which encouraged me to take my time and build a beautiful wet lather. Alas, tomorrow, my pretty butterscotch.

      I had to go pasty today as well. Didn’t care for it.

        I think I came up with this challenge last year. Sorry.

          No worries. I actually think that it is a good challenge; similar to the Reverse Lather challenge. It’s good for those of us who aren’t really competitors, but still want to feel as if we’re playing along.
