Today is the first day of the Gemini Theme for most of this month. I will use the same set up for two consecutive days, excluding Sunday’s.
Additionally, I will use just two soaps and their respective aftershaves through the month. Sunday’s will be reserved for variety from the den.
The SDC boar whipped up a glorious lather.

The scent of the soap is very enjoy with a less darker scent of the Oud. The scent profile is as follows:
“King of Oud combines the freshness of Bergamot and scents of Rose and Pink Pepper sitting on a bed of Oud, Patchouli and Vetiver for a fragrance that is both fresh and richly aromatic.”
I did my usual three passes with wonderful results. A majority of my shaves each month are with the straight razors in my den. I just love the challenge and the zen of the straight razor shave. I am tempted to strive for at least 20 shaves with the straights this month since July may be more geared towards the DE or Se persuasion.
Hope you all have fine shaves this month.
