Adventus Day 7

Today's lather is a cream from A&E. I've only used cream a couple of times. I totally mishandled it. The lather on pass 1 was see-through. Pass 2 was barely there. Pass three was a few bubbles. Despite my mishandling, it was a slick shave with no irritation.

The scent was very nice with good strength. I'm not sure if it will hang with me throughout the day, so I put on Valley of Ashes aftershave. Now they're duking it only on my face. I'm not sad.

I also got a full bath bar of Chiseled Face Groomatorium's Midnight Stag, which made me giggle. The Stag will ride again.

Have a good day!

Chiseled Face Groomatorium’s Midnight Stag

Very popular in around here because many of us are members of the Order of Stag on Reddit :)

I'll be attempting to join the Order next time the contest comes around. I have the shaving soap and aftershave too. I also acquired a 31mm Stirling x Zenith Boar to use in the same contest. :)

Excellent! Raw Hoggin' with the Stag makes for a great Austere August!
