Razor: Chiseled Face Legacy Raw Titanium - (#69)
Blade: Personna P74 (16)
Lather: Chicago Grooming Co. - Smoke on the Water - Cream
Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Taiga - Aftershave

This scent has "Smoke" in the name. Does it prominently feature "smoke"? Yeah you betcha. It's basically all "smoke" or "Tobacco" notes aside from some supporting cast. Scent notes: Tobacco Flower, Tobacco, Pipe Smoke, Oud, Sweet Oakmoss, Pink Pepper, Honey, Smoke.

Daily challenge: I didn't use a brush. I used my hand. Luckily, this product is a cream! It was easy to spread and actually worked up some semblance of being aerated making it easy to keep track of which sections of my face had been shaved. It worked pretty good! The biggest difference for me was the lack of cues on when it's properly hydrated. I was never quite sure if it needed more water or had enough already (or had too much).

Would I skip using a brush again in the future on my own accord? Nope. Brushes make things more interesting and make things work better. That's just facts, and you can't argue with facts!
