Theme: Canned Shave Goop - okay. I visited the local Wally World with the intent to avoid Barbersol and Cremo. I found Van Der Hagen "shave butter." On my way to the register, I picked up the Dove 3n1 (body, hair, shave) just in case.

I used the VDH for a small arm patch yesterday. Today, I wanted to bring it to a lather. Well that doesn't work at all. Reading the ingredients, it has no soap. It's whipped gel I guess. Straight into the trash. The Dove bar is shaped like an ergonomic body bar, so it doesn't fit in any mug. I hand loaded it. It lathered and it did in fact shave. Despite loading up on fougère aftershave and Brüt (which was also a Wally World acquisition) that "extra fresh" smell is still poking through. Extra Fresh Fougère I suppose.

October 11th, 2026

• Brush: Zenith - B03-A26 (B2) 26mm Boar
• Razor: EldrormR Industries MM24
• Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (5)
• Lather: Edge Sensitive Skin Shave Gel for Men with Aloe, 2.75 oz
• Post Shave: Barbasol - Brisk - Aftershave
• Post Shave: Dove - Men+Care Ultra-Hydra - Cream

All of this software is available in stores near me. Edge Sensitive Skin Gel with Aloe is fine, I guess. I used a brush with it and it actually took quite a bit of water. I got a close comfortable shave.

Barbasol Brisk is no longer available, but I bought it at CVS before they stopped making it.

Dove Men+Care, last I checked, is sold at Dollar Tree. $1 for a little tub. It's fine.

Daily Challenge: sorry, not participating in today's fun.

• Brush: Brad Sears Scotsman XL 28mm Super Badger
• Razor: MTB 6/8 Hollow Ground Square Point
• Lather: Subtle Art Soap Co. - Whispering Woods - Soap
• Post Shave: Subtle Art Soap Co. - Whispering Woods - Aftershave
• Post Shave: Thayers - Cucumber - Toner

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

I really enjoyed revisiting this Whispering Woods shave and splash. It is a perfect fit for a crisp autumn morning walk.

October 11th, 2026: Canned Shave Goop

• Brush: Hands
• Razor: Blackland Blackbird Titanium
• Blade: Personna Platinum Chrome (10)
• Lather: Barbasol - Original - Soap
• Post Shave: Mennen - Skin Bracer - Aftershave
• Post Shave: Oleo & Co. - Facial Toner - Toner
• Fragrance: Stirling - Seine Reserve - EdT

Theme justification - This can of Barbasol was purchased local to me. My wife uses it to get stains out of clothing, and I guess I use it to shave during LG.

Relevant Post Shave or Frag - Skin Bracer was also purchased local to me. I was under the impression that Skin Bracer was being discontinued, but I keep seeing it in stores. Fine by me, I think it's an excellent splash for the price.

Daily challenge - No den tour from me this year.

$FOF - Not much interesting here. Two American shaving staples followed by a solid RG dupe. Nice, smooth, and restrained. The soap isn't my favorite to shave with, but the scent progression was great.
