This is my first time trying Plum & Bliss—a very mellow and deceptively complex scent. EM was great as always.

Travel day! I’m all djudged up for the Lather Games, and today, with an empty docket, I’m travelling with Djunior and Djundjilette to Prague for the next four days. It’s the first time I’m in Prague in a family setting, so I’ll need to adjust the beer intake from the usual level to an appropriate one 😅
A light apple-scented shave felt right for this already scorching hot summer day.

The sacrifices we make for our families!🙄
Thanks for another year of djudging. I can tell from listening to the podcasts that there’s work involved so the rest of us can have a good time.

It’s not that bad, and it’s good to hear you were having a good time!
Definitely! I play my own game that is not particularly focused on points.
Have a good trip!
Thanks!

- Brush: Wolf Whiskers - “Gianmaria” w/Maggard 26mm Synthetic
- Razor: Chiseled Face Legacy Raw Titanium - (#69)
- Blade: Personna P74 (96)
- Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Ozark Mountain - Soap
- Post Shave: Pinaud - Clubman Musk - Aftershave
- Post Shave: Dove - Men+Care Ultra-Hydra - Cream
- Fragrance: Brut - EdT
Clubman Musk goes surprisingly well with Ozark Mountain, and of course Brut is pretty musky itself so all around really nice. Compared to Atriox from GLHF Workshop, Brut is less potent, less fancy, and has less longevity.
July 2nd, 2025
- Brush: Omega - 10077 Boar
- Razor: Yates Precision Manufacturing - Merica
- Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
- Lather: Moon Soaps - Union - Soap
- Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Alive - Aftershave
Used Union today for a buddy shave with u/whosgotthepudding This is a seriously good barbershop scent. Still getting used to building the lather, but great shave today nonetheless.
02.07.2025
- Brush: AP Shave Co. black & clear handle w/ 30 mm Tuxedo Fan knot
- Razor: RazoRock Cyber Medium w/ Superknurl handle
- Blade: BIC Chrome Platinum
- Lather: Summer Break Soaps - Rope Swing
- Post-Shave: OAM sensitive skin toner
-> 1 pass head shave and a bit of buffing the dome with a cartridge razor (my safety razor fell down on the floor behind my washing machine and the blade was ruined by dust - shit happens).
Hottest day of the year so far so it was time for Rope Swing yet again! After suffering through the heat today, such a cold shave (also with cold water!) was really blissful. Just a toner today since balms tend to leave my head really sticky on hot days. Overall, a smooth and relaxing shave.
So tomorrow my practical exam finally starts, although with the written part first (documentation and care plan). Friday I’ll need to put everything into action. Am I nervous? Sure. But I don’t want to show it and I don’t want to let it stop me. I’m well prepared and while it will be hard, I really want to get this done nicely.
Good luck!
Thanks! First day went by OK, tomorrow will be a little more stressful… But I am determined to give my best effort!
