October 1st, 2026: International Coffee Day

Brush: Summer Break Soaps - Unbleached Zenith 28mm Boar
Razor: RazoRock Lupo DLC
Blade: Personna Platinum Chrome (3)
Lather: Noble Otter - Thé Noir et Vanille - Soap
Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Santa Noir - Aftershave
Post Shave: Oleo & Co. - Facial Toner - Toner
Fragrance: Le Labo - Thé Matcha 26 - EdP

Theme justification - it's a black tea scent, it's in the name.

Relevant Post Shave or Frag - Thé Matcha 26 is a matcha-forward fragrance.

Daily challenge - u/hugbckt is a kind, generous, and consistently positive member of the community. We're lucky to have him. Though I will take the djudicial suggestion and call him a coward for not defending his title this year. I guess we'll never know if he could have beaten u/Priusaurus's record after all.

$FOF - I've been looking forward to this combination. The earthy black tea in TNeV was a pleasant anchor to the initial jasmine and currant from Santa Noir. After some time on my skin the sandalwood and, for lack of a better way to put it, sense of evergreen really shines through.

Thé Matcha nicely grounded things. It's a close-sitting fragrance that gives me more vetiver and cedar than matcha, but it pulls the combination into a wonderfully calm and contemplative place. A real sense of welcome solitude.
