    I really like this idea.

    Things that pop into my head:

    1. Have a backup soap choosing method in case ShavingInCT’s Discord bot takes a dump at an inopportune time.
    2. If the first quiz answer is PAA, for example, consider waiting for the next one.
    3. Maybe give a tad bit of flexibility in case the game picks some super odd-ball soap that nobody has with scent notes from another planet. If it seems like everyone is going to burn their airbud allowance on one day, that would stink. Maybe 2 airbud days?

    Luxury shave, as they call it.

    If Speick was ubiquitous where I lived (like, available at the drug store), I wonder if I would take it for granted. I find it to be a really excellent, nice smelling shave product that I really enjoy using.

    The soap isn’t very strongly scented, but it smells quite nice. I’ve mentioned before that on some days I get a strange sort of smell from the soap, sort of like an off-gassing from something. I’ve had the same thing from Mood Indigo, so maybe there’s a common accord in both of them. Strangely, it depends on the day.

    There’s a sort of maturity to the scent. I’m curious what it might smell like in fragrance form. It seems approachable, but not mainstream, if that makes sense.

    • Brush: AP Shave Co. - 24mm Synbad Fan
    • Razor: Muhle R89
    • Blade: Personna Lab Blue (5)
    • Lather: House of Mammoth - You & I (Will Die) - Soap
    • Post Shave: Chatillon Lux - Sni Mato - Aftershave
    • Post Shave: allMan - Refined - Balm

    The R89 is more aggressive than I typically like to use. I’m more of a Merkur 34C type of guy. It’s a little bit surprising to me that the “89” series razors became the de facto recommendation for new shavers, although I think over time I’m starting to see some more variety in recommendations. At the same time, I don’t know what I would recommend to someone new… the 89 series razors are ubiquitous, and relatively inexpensive. I’ve never tried a Maggard V3M but it looks exactly like a Baili BR171 which I like a lot.

    Anyway, good shave!
