Brush: Zenith r/Wetshaving 31mm x 57mm Moar Boar
Razor: Koraat 14 "Moarteen" 15/16" Full Hollow
Lather: Barrister and Mann - Hallows - Soap
Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Hallows - Aftershave
Post Shave: Thayers - Coconut - Toner
Fragrance: Barrister and Mann - Hallows - Eau de Toilette

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

This was a perfect Halloween shave for me. I always enjoy Hallows (even when it isn't Halloween) due to its dark, slightly swampy, dank vibe. After the video, I remembered that I had the EdT, so I've been enjoying wafts of Hallows since my late-morning shave.

I have made several 3D printed brush handles to accept a 28mm Motherlode knot that I have, but I have not settled on how I want to finish the fused-filament surface from the printing process so I did not assemble one of these for the challenge. Instead, I chose to use the MOARBoar; a brush that we (r/Wetshaving) had made for us.

To complete my nod to the community and all of the activities we have, I used the MOARteen straight razor.

Thanks to the judges for putting this on. October isn't a good LG month for me, but I hope that it was great for everyone else.
