I would probably have preferred to use this on dupe day, I love HDP 1899. It's one of the few original EDPs I own and would certainly buy again.

I did my best to knock this down in the last couple of weeks prior to the games kickoff. Though there is still enough for a healthy number of shaves. That being said the challenge should be able to knock that number down somewhat.

Opted for the WR3 today as well, the aesthetics aren't for everyone but I like the heft to it. The polar opposite of the Vestige, and nowhere near as manouverable, but the added weight makes it effortless. This is one of those razors where the 'zero pressure' rule almost applies.

Challenge - Water Day

I've only used the boar a couple of times so it managed to dig a fair old chunk out. Cracked on with the shave and two swipes in it started to clog. Knocked a bit off and carried on, finished up the first pass and needed a serious rinsing. Took over a minute to rinse the thing out,(don't worry I sped up the video so it's only around 15 seconds). Rinse and repeat for the remaining ATG pass.

Though I was singing the WR3's praises with it's additional heft, with this particular challenge it is a dire drawback. Negative pressure would have been preferable, but to do that I wouldn't be employing the Air Bud Rule...sorry no, not I, I'll just deal with a crap shave. Today made me look back fondly on the canned goo(p) day!

I'm self-declaring out of tomorrows surprise challenge. Sadly the Mrs can't stand blokes with shaved legs, and as much as I'd like to get extra points I do have to set my priorities.

In honour of the theme, I'm throwing in the 'Donut' (Doughnut) for today's effort.

Have a good kick off to the weekend all!

2024-06-15 - One must imagine their lather wet

• Lather: Mickey Lee Soapworks - Grand Havana
• Post Shave: Summer Break Soaps - Valedictorian
• Fragrance: House of Mammoth - Tobacconist
• Razor: Rockwell 6S #ADJUSTABLE
• Brush: Yaqi Metal Timberwolf

Unifying Theme: Tobacco

Near Death Experience: Who else spent their May working down a tub so that they would have something clear and indisputable for today's theme? Who else did that with unobtanium?!
Soap is meant to be used, and just about all of my soap is nearly full. Grand Havana is one of my oldest, though, so it may have already been the right soap for today, I still thought I'd make sure it was unambiguous.

Water Day: What better way to appreciate said unobtanium than by depriving it of its effective function?

It's like they used to say 'round here: "If your lather ain't nearly drippin`, then maybe you should add more water to it, but be mindful that water quality isn't the same everywhere and that that necessarily affects qualities and consistency of the lather."

#FOF
I feel like Grand Havana might be more on the floral side of tobaccos. Honestly, it's not my favorite, and I hesitate to say whether it would be in my top 10 of tobacco scents, not to say I've ranked them. Meanwhile, Valedictorian may be in the top 5. It's not pure tobacco, but the tobacco is indeed the star. There's almost a sweetness to it that makes me think it's what Kaw's Merchant of Tobacco could only hope to be, but then the tobacco comes back reminding me that that's what this scent is all about.

Tobacconist is, of course, number 1, nearly perfect with its nearly pure humidor experience.

#photocontest Earth
I imagine some people have already used random ground-stones from the wilds. I won't, because the air outside is made of death, and I have no desire for an encounter with death. I happened to already have these perfectly round stones, not entirely unlike that which we see here pushed up the hill by Happy Sisyphus.

This is actually relevant to today. Many of us are already familiar with Sisyphus and his eternal torment of pushing a boulder up a hill, only for it to roll back down again, rinse/repeat (it's not unlike the very process of shaving).

Only slightly fewer of us, especially on reddit, may be familiar with Albert Camus' take on the meaningless toil of Sisyphus, positing that "one must imagine Sisyphus happy."

Fewer still, I suspect, are aware of how he wound up with this tidily applicable punishment:
He imprisoned Death.

Death showed up to take Sispyphus away in chains, but Sisyphus was like, "Man, those lousy chains sure suck donkey dick," but Death put them on himself to prove him wrong like, "No, see, even I can't get out of these chains; they're pretty sweet." So Sispyhus kicked Death into his basement and Death couldn't escape because chains.

With Death trapped, no one could die, and everyone lived ~~happily ever after~~ literally forever.
The End

June 15, 2024 – It’s worse than that. He’s dead, Jim.

Today we kill Tubs! Well, some of us will. At least I will. Killing a tub is one of the hardest things for us to do. Now it should be easy, just buy a soap and use it. But as we all saw on den day, we have too many soaps. So, few make it across the finish line.

Enter: Austere August. See by forcing ourselves to use just one soap, we can make a dent in something and at least get close to killing it. That’s how I got here. Except after AA there was still about half this tub left. So also Mandatory May.

Actually, let’s go back a bit. This tub has a history, and you should know it. See, when I entered the hobby in Sept/Oct 2022, Stirling was still the go to starter kit. I already had a razor and brush so I ordered sample soaps and splashes. I instantly realized I liked the scent component of the hobby. Right about then Will announced The Four Horsemen. This seemed intriguing and, War sounded like going to the range in the morning (hot metal! Gunpowder! YES!). So, my first hit with FOMO I ordered all 4 samples. They came, I recoiled. I decided maybe I should just never buy anything but Stirling products again. (Indeed, I wouldn’t buy any B&M products for probably close to a year after that.) Then u/120inna55’s software went up for sale. I was new (and still lurking) so I waited until everyone picked out their unobtanium. Then I looked at what was left. I oscillated back and forth, after all I had just got burned by some scents. I read inna’s reviews finally I decided the price was low enough I pulled the trigger on Hygge, Summer Storm, and Ghost Town Barber. All well received scents here.

When they arrived I was cautious, I opened up GTB, it was good! I used it a lot. I opened Summer Storm, it hits that Midwest grass after a storm note. Then I opened Hygge. I instantly fell in love. Something about the scent resonated with me. Fast forward a bit more, covid, anosmia, LG2023 to Austere August. I decided to use Hygge the entire month. I don’t regret it. I didn’t tire of the scent. It’s still one of my favorites. And it shows. It’s the only scent I’ve been able to get to this level. It was the only full tub (admittedly used) that even had a ring of death on it when LG24 was announced. So, I set to get it to one last shave today. I used it for most of May (finishing about a week before LG.

In preparation u/djundjilla was kind enough to run the usage numbers This will be the 73rd recorded use (he ran those a day before I stopped using it). Keep in mind, I was using this before I posted here, this was a used tub, and I’ve smushed a few times out of it. The actual usage is probably over 90. Taking that into account my den has probably 2-3 years worth of Mammoth Soap, just Mammoth. That’s why it’s so hard to kill a tub.

So, this is my first kill, (tagging u/visceralwatch) I should do something special. First for #fof, I’m going to trifecta, because it’s a great scent and appropriate now that I cannot trifecta until I buy more. And a 21 Spray Salute! What’s a 21 spray salute? Well, it’s like a 21 gun salute, except with fragrance. u/mammothben sent out room sprayers as add ons with Santa Noir orders and guess what I got Hygge! Now, my first floor has 3 rooms, if you don’t count the kitchen (because food), so that’s 7 sprays per room. Sorry family, house is gonna smell great for a while. READY…AIM…SPRAY! As for #photocontest, well I guess the empty tub is Trash now, or I’ll repurpose it (as the theme suggests) into something else. Sample storage maybe? I did record the date of the kill.

And the challenge. Well, I’ve been working on better, wetter lather so I guess we’ll reverse that today and go pasty. But keeping in mind I only have the soap I have, no more no less. But in my experience, synth, place face lather with no actual water=pasty. So this is my result.. My lather looks like I stuck an albino porcupine on my face. Good thing tusk is a forgiving base and you always get a good shave.

empty tub is not trash

• Post Shave: RazoRock - Mudder Focker

• Fragrance: Christian Dior - Suavage EdT

Near Death Experience

Proraso green and the Vikings Blade brush were the first brush and soap I bought before I ever knew about soaps and brushes. I have used the Proraso more than any of my other soaps. I’ve used it to practice lather, to get the funk out of brushes and of course to shave with. As you can see in this picture both are on their last legs.

Todays challenge Water or lack there of. This was terrible, I hated it. The only saving grace is, nothing there is no saving grace. Heres a picture of the paste on my face along with a 35 second video proof that it sucks ass

I can’t wait to shave my legs tomorrow….

I went with Sauvage because of all the days to use a Me2 frag, I thought today was that day.

Today’s Sponsor Chisel & Hound. My first artisan brush was from CH. Was also my first real badger knot and actually used Proraso to lather it a few days in a row to get the funk out. I also have this one with a TnS half moon synthetic. I am looking at one right now from Thursdays drop that I might grab if it’s still there tomorrow. Photo Contest DIY

June 15, 2024 - Near Death Experience

• Brush: That Darn Rob White Handle With Blue Cap 2-Band Badger 26 mm #SHD
• Razor: RazoRock Lupo Silver #RAINBOW
• Blade: Wizamet (29)
• Lather: Noble Otter - Orbit
• Post Shave: Lucky Tiger - Aftershave and Toner
• Fragrance: Zoologist - Koala

Challenge: Me, shave with pasty lather? This is the Lather Games. NOT the Paste Games! Fine, is this pasty enough for you, bastards? The only upside to this is maybe some pasty shaver finally made a decent lather.

I have a lot of soap and I typically shave every other day. That means I have lots of stuff that's only been used 2-3 times. So, how did this tub of Orbit come to look like this? Simple, someone else did the hard work for which I now take credit. This was heavily used when I bought it. I used it for Austere August in an attempt to kill it, only for the soap to laugh in my face. Orbit and Rope Swing are the only cooling soaps I've bought on purpose. I prefer the synthetic cooling agent. Menthol has a strong scent. Unless the fragrance is tailored around it, like Northern Elixir, it takes too much attention away from the fragrance.

I'm not the biggest Noble Otter fan. Don't get me wrong, I am a fan. They make great products, and the packaging is cute. I'm just not as smitten by the Otter labels as others seem to be. Nor do many of their fragrances pique my interest. That said, Orbit is my favorite Noble Otter soap. It smells rejuvenating like a cold shower after working outside in the heat. I don’t understand what the frozen space scent note on the label means. But, this does smell cold, somehow. Or maybe, more accurately, like cooling. The eucalyptus reminds me of the aloe ointment I put on my sunburns after beach days on vacation as a kid. I don’t get the bergamot note in this. The note of rose is used artfully here and meshes seamlessly with the cedar to provide a base for the fragrance.

I used Lucky Tiger because it’s the post-shave closest to death. This has been my go-to when using soaps without matching splash. The label reads “fragrance (citrus essential oils).” It smells like orange. Imagine an orange peel without the bitterness. The splash makes my skin feel great. It’s a great option when I don’t want the drying effect of an alcohol based aftershave.

I chose Koala for today’s fragrance to play off of the eucalyptus note in Orbit. The opening is green and earthy. If Orbit is in space, Koala is firmly on the ground in nature. I get a lot of vetiver. There’s resinous sweet honey-like scents, and Middle Eastern spice. I detect black tea, incense, and a subtle green floral note. It’s complex. As it begins to dry down, vanilla emerges to complement the incense.

I forget who I got this razor from. It was a freebie with a bazaar purchase. The Lupo SS 0.72 is a razor I can use on autopilot. This aluminum Lupo has been sitting unused. I figured it would be mild enough to make the pasty shave bearable. So, I gave it a shot. It was very mild. I had to check there was a blade installed. The verdict is still out on efficiency.

In honor of today’s sponsor spotlight, I used my other /u/geekyoldrob brush. The is an older one with the TDR coin. This was one of the first nice brushes I bought. I got it at the bazaar for a good price. I don’t know what knot is in this. I assume some version of Fanchurian. I like that it's not a gelly as some of my other badgers.

I would call this a dry lather as I typically leg lather in the shower unless it’s from a sample and then I start in a bowl, make a paste, and go to town on my leg.

I probably use this soap the most often, making it closest to death. I like it so much I bought the fragrance which I’ve only done with one other soap. A & E has really strong cologne- like scents and though I like the 6-7 samples I’ve tried I prob wouldn’t buy a full tub. I have more to try so maybe down the road. I do think the k2 base is incredible. This one was a blind buy and I love it. Like I said I bought the edp bc it was so unique. Well the edp had me second guessing things - I know they enhance the scent, but so far I’m not loving the edp and it has skewed my love a bit. I never thought the soap was “fruity,” but now the fragrance has me second guessing my sniffer. I guess this is middle aged.

• Day 15
• Brush: SmilezforMilez – 22mm Synthetic
• Razor: Silver Star Vintage DE
• Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
• Lather: Barrister and Mann – Bay Rum Soap
• Post Shave: Barrister and Mann – Bay Rum Splash
• Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving – Sea Spice Lime EdT

I love Bay Rums! One of the first wetshaving scent profiles I really fell in love with was Bay Rum. Is Bay Rum a scent profile? No clue, but whatever it is, I’m here for it. And Barrister and Mann makes a damn good Bay Rum scent. So, it’s no surprise that my favorite Bay Rum is the tub that is Knocking on Heaven’s Door. For some reason, when I started to see the bottom of the tub, I drastically cut down on my usage of it. It’s weird because I can buy more at anytime, but something about killing a tub of my favorite scent feels… Weird. I don’t know, I can’t explain it.

Anyways, I always feel kind of like a pirate when I use Bay Rum, and I also feel like I’m bringing up pirates in like every other SOTD I post, so let’s go full pirate today! ARRRRRRRRRR!!! Because who doesn't want to smell like they just got done looking for buried treasure? B&M’s spicy, rum-laden lather made me feel like I could conquer the Caribbean and my 9AM meeting simultaneously. Nothing says "I'm serious about hygiene" like smelling like a swashbuckling buccaneer! Post-shave, I doused myself with B&M’s matching Bay Rum Splash. Because if I'm going to smell like a pirate, I might as well commit, right? The scent was so intoxicating, I swear I heard my coworker call for a parlay. But hey, if swords aren’t allowed in the office, smelling like you just came from a sword fight is the next best thing.

Finished it off with Spearhead Shaving's Sea Spice Lime EdT. Because why not add a hint of lime and sea salt to the pirate's life? Yo ho, indeed! The fragrance is like sailing on the Black Pearl in a bottle, minus the sunburns and the skeletons everywhere. The blend of zesty lime, warm spices, and a hint of sea breeze left me feeling refreshed and ready to commandeer the day. A Pirate’s Life for me, indeed. #FOF

Challenge I made my lather super dry today. I’m tripping because that lather is NOT dripping. It’s actually so pasty it’s defying gravity. Believe it or not, I actually still got an okayish shave out of it, thanks to Barrister and Mann’s great soap base. Sure, it wasn’t as good as it could have been, but it wasn’t as bad as I feared either.

iamhonestlylying’s Daily Top 5:

In honor of “Near Death Experiences”… My Top 5 Favorite Zombie Franchises:

5.) Zombieland – Adding a little humor to the zombie genre, plus an awesome Bill Murray cameo.

4.) World War Z – A global pandemic that threatens to wipe out humanity. Completely inaccurate and near unwatchable because the movie doesn’t show huge swathes of people calling it a hoax.

3.) Night of the Living Dead - Gotta give credit where credit is due: The Original Gangster of the zombies.

2.) The Walking Dead – The comics were good and first few TV seasons were appointment television… Then A&E realized it was a money printing machine and they ruined it by dragging the main story out too long and adding spin-off after spin-off after spin-off.

1.) 28 Days Later – Classic scenario of a guy who wakes up from a coma and bam! Zombie apocalypse!

Will not be participating in daily challenge due to irritation taking me out of the game yesterday. Sorry boys, my lather is shitty enough on its own and I have trouble shaving everyday as is.

This tub is my closest to a kill and I would have done it too if it weren't for my meddling girlfriend. She hates the smell of bananas. I would like it noted that in lieu of a dry lather I have opted for a dry girlfriend and I think that deserves partial points.

Photocontest

For photo I went with theme hobby. I have far too many hobbies, but I figured my love of guns would pair well with me trying to kill this tub. Other hobbies include but not limited to: skiing, jiu-jitsu, Seiko modding, rock climbing, PC gaming, photography.

June 15, 2024

• Brush: Omega Penelli White HI-BRUSH Synthetic
• Razor: Schick Injector
• Blade: Schick Injector
• Lather: Australian Private Reserve – Coeur de Vert

This is by far the closest tub I have to being finished. And honestly, not what I would consider close overall. But I can just barely see the bottom vs the 90+% of everything else. Todays scent is wonderful. It’s so grassy and has a touch of hay. Like a breezy day carrying the scent to you. A light sweetness with a little bit of floral, which I pick out as the violets. This is what I imagine standing in an idealistic prairie with sporadic wild flowers would be like, untouched by man. I imagine a picture of me lying down in the field with a slowly panning out video showing the endlessness of the yellow and green grasses. I can’t say my memory is specifically of that, but it is of untouched grasses in the late spring. Just laying there, taking it all in. It was a hillside adjacent to my local park where it was quiet and away from everyone. My quiet spot when I was little.

Challenge: A shame to waste precious soap on a poor lather but here we are. Pasty it is. And if that wasn’t proof enough, here is me trying to get it off my razor.

Today I found a Prius for my scavenger hunt. So I took out my luggage I had packed up for travel and got my SOTD photo in an amusement park hotel parking lot. Photo credit to the misses.

• Razor: Blackland Razors Vector (Lite)
• Blade: Schick Proline
• Lather: House of Mammoth - Sonder
• Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Spice
• Fragrance: Imaginary Authors - Sundrunk

This is the tub I used for Austere August last year, and I would say it has about a third left to it. I don't really understand how I did that using the MOAR BOAR for an entire month, unless I'm chronically underloading. I think I'm chronically underloading. It is by far my tub closest to dead. Post shave is relevant because it is my splash that is the closest to dead. There's like a couple millimeters of splash left at the bottle and every time I think I've killed it I didn't. JUST DIE ALREADY. Sundrunk is here to bridge the scents. The orange zest really helps tie the old spice dupe with the lemon in Sonder, while the rhubarb helps get into the unique florals in the scent.

Today's shave sucked. Y'all are jerks for making me do pasty ass lather with a good soap. I should not have used the lite plate for the vector. It clogged too fast, and was way too sticky to be effective.

Photo contest theme is Pirates. I'm in the middle of putting together some shipments from my bst post on the discord, and the pirate ship logo was screaming at me to go with pirates today. So here it is. This photo sucks a lot. The light coming from the background is super overwhelming the already weak light coming from the rest of the room and it just looks bad, but it's on theme. #photocontest

This entire photo is very funny to me and isn't a real candidate for best shot, but I'm making it one in part because it's self-professed as shitty.

Since I started wet shaving, I have only killed two or three tubs. One of them was the used tub of Vanille de Tabac I bought off the bazaar. It really is no surprise that this replacement tub is the only one in my den with a ring of death, either. It is at or near the top of my whole family's list of favorites. The fragrance is a dupe of the same Tom Ford scent, and while done a little differently, it pairs nicely.

I wish you vile, cruel, mean, and unforgiving judges would leave my lather alone. Not sure how water day equals this pasty terrible mess you made me use this morning. At least I am confident that I am doing something right in this hobby after today.

Shaves in the earlier morning, and finally getting to posting probably 12 hours later. First and I believe only trickhole of the games, as all 3 are nearest death, especially the soap and frag. Stirling satsuma is divine. It’s quite simple, but so juicy and bright, and very close to the real fruit. #FOF

For the #PHOTOCONTEST went with fill the frame. Not sure how well I will do while on vacation with the rest of these, probably should have done a harder one today. That said, I do have my travel LG calendar days packed!, so we’ll see what we can still make happen photo wise but will have same set up for about 2 weeks.

For the challenge, best way to get a pasty lather is sunshine outside, so here’s my little setup today. Notice those stellar tomatoes in the mirror. I’m normally a mid hydration guy, so went super pasty today. Also, video proof as well.

As of our sponsor, stellar brushes, cool collabs with HoM. Used my CH V8 today, nice and gelly dense badger. Have a TDR too with a B6 which is one of my absolute faves.

Daily Gratitude
Thank you so much to Blackland for fixing up and polishing this razor. Thanks to my mom for buying this aftershave. Thanks to the judges and fabulous people putting this whole thing together.

Daily Mistakes
Forgetting to put a blade in until after I "shaved" half of my face lol.

Daily Writeup
Man, I missed this razor, but now it is even better than it was. If you are lame and you aren't active in the discord then you probably didn't see what it was like before, and that's a good thing lol. The blade gap was on the wrong side of the blade. But they polished it and apparently that fixed the problem? But I'm thrilled because when I was researching this razor I wanted to get a polished one before I asked them and they told me that the polished brass will not be returning in the brass drops, so I had to go for a matte one second hand. But now it's even better than it was!!! I decided to do a 3 pass shave for the first time in 2 weeks because today work was really busy and I needed a calming shave with my favorite razor. So smooth and so nice.

Daily Theme Points
Coincidentally, today was the shave with this soap that revealed the bottom of the tub! Near death experience, I'm really scared, I saw it's life flash before my eyes, a lot of good shaves, also that time that I wanted to scrape the top of this because it wasn't looking good and I only had a razor blade to use, I cut myself up really bad lol.

Daily Relevant Post Shave & Fragrance Points
For today I just went with some of my favorite stuff, and more on the darker warmer side like black watch. Old Spice is really good and it's pretty dark to my nose. I honestly didn't think I would like rumble based off of the scent notes but I actually loved it! Super chocolatey.

Daily Challenge
Usually my lather is super fast and poorly hydrated. This picture was taken after I did a stroke on the side but here is kind of what it looked like in one spot. Also the saying is, "if it aint drippin you trippin" and it was dripping all over my body lol.

Hardware Scavenger Hunt
Nothing new.

Photo Contest
It's super packed or something.

TL;DR
I win rookie of the year thank you very much give me my prize.
