Where's the Beef?: Day 16 of Lather Games
Theme justification: This base has duck fat. Almond vanilla has this sweet kind of almond that smells like cherry, and its a fun little experiment to sniff it between more almondy almond like HoM Almond Leather and real cherry in TF Lost Cherry. When I sniff Almond leather and Almond Vanilla, Almond Vanilla smells like straight cherry to me. But after sniffing a bit of Lost Cherry, Almond Vanilla switches to almond in my brain. Oh the fun you can have.
I typically lather up and then shave, and today's challenge would invert that order. Luckily for me, I forgot about the challenge until it was too late.
I honed up this razor during my lunch break, just before the shave, and its a pretty one. I thought I was buying a typical quarter- or half-hollow W&B à la FBU, but this one is fully hollow ground. I didn't know that WB did such grinds until now.
Now that's a razor with a lot of character! I love it! I've seen hollow ground W&B online. I guess they got in on the craze once the Hexe was invented.
Yes they did, and this particular one is full hollow by modern standards, not like the Celebrated. Quite fascinating, this.
