    Theme Thursday: Least Edible

    • Brush: Highlander Brushes Jade 26mm Cashmere Knot
    • Razor: Karve Shaving Co. Overlander
    • Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Super Stainless (Green) [11]
    • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Saguaro Blossom - Soap
    • Post Shave: Southern Witchcrafts/Shawn Maher - Gravefruit II - Aftershave (Alcohol Free)
    • Fragrance: Southern Witchcrafts/Shawn Maher - Gravefruit II - Eau de Parfum

    Since the theme today is least edible scent, I started with a list of my gourmand scents. The cactus blossom of Stirling’s Saguaro Blossom stuck out since the scent description does list it as “a somewhat gourmand scent.” After reading up on them, the Saguaro blossoms smell like melons, and the resulting fruit is eaten by people indigenous to the area. The next scent that came to mind for the theme, while not exactly a gourmand, was GF2.

    I was in a hurry this morning, so I used the Slurry Lather Method. All it took was five brush swirls on the Stirling puck to make a surprisingly usable lather. I used a hybrid XTG and ATG pass where it was comfortable, with some quick touch-ups afterwards. The shave took less than five minutes, and the results were better than I expected.
