Judges, scrub me or not. shave is here , Limericks are in yesterday's thread

sonnet 116

Let me not to the wetshaving of true minds

Admit impediments; our sub is not a sub

Which alters dnb lists for gift-in-kinds

Or allows random posts from scrubs

O no, it is a daily scheduled lot

'That should be in the DQT if I'm not mistaken';

And it's star is our own latherbot

Whose worth's well known, tho tweaks bourbon keeps makin.

Sub's not time's fool, though BBS necks and cheeks

Within his bending sickle's compass come.

Sub alters not with his brief hours and weeks,

But bears it out even to the edge of doom:

If this be error and upon me proved,

I never writ, nor no man ever shaved.

Happy Friday, beautiful people. Welcome to the twenty-first shave of the 2024 Lather Games. It is Fougere Friday where it is our solemn duty to use a lather that is definitely some sort of fougere.

For today's on the road shave, going to try a sample from Chiseled Face of their Topanga Fougere, one of the fragrances they acquired from LA Shaving Co. when they folded. The lengthy marketing verbiage starts with,

"This distinctive fragrance offers a new approach to the classic fougère genre, crafted exclusively with essential oils and extracts for a pure and authentic olfactory experience. Our Topanga Fougère is an homage to the grandeur of Houbigant's Fougère Royale, created by the young genius Paul Parquet back in 1882. Although not a direct interpretation, this scent carries the inspirational spirit of its predecessor, transporting you to the heart of an imaginary forest. "Fougère," meaning fern in French, describes a scent that blends the woody, floral, and herbal notes reminiscent of a forest floor, despite ferns themselves being largely scentless".

I think I'm covered.

I have been curious to try this as it skips the oak moss and coumarin that are common in these earthy and/or forestry fougeres. The style of fougere (aka the main style) has yet to impress me but, off the puck, this was smelling pretty good.

(today’s shave description is in the form of a limerick - five lines, three long and two short, rhyming with aabba scheme)

I lathered my face with fougere,
Wondering if I should be rhyming it with Gary?
I held the blade steady,
For my face was ready,
And the shave was smooth and not a bit scary.

Alas, lathered, all the good vanished from the fragrance and was left with something that was most reminiscent of the smell of a compost pile with decaying fruit in the blend. If this was the creation of a genius in 1882, there were different metrics for that moniker. TTPP with this stuff.

If this theme returns next time, guess it’s back to Fougere Angelique that smells as similar to these authentic fougeres as gasoline or breakfast cereal but counts because Will Carius says so 😇

Enjoy the day!

Tournament of Blades Fight 422, Round 1. Euromax - Platinum (India) vs Sharp - Hi Platinum (Bangladesh)

The Sharp Hi Platinum started out as an accidental buy (meant to get more Sharp Titanium) but I tossed it in the blade pool and glad I did because such an easy comparison. The Sharp was a super smooth, comfortable shave with no faults. The EuroMax, though only a spot or two of discomfort around jawline, had just OK feedback versus the smooth, slick operation of the Sharp.

Winner of Round 1: Sharp - Hi Platinum

What is this horrible grotesquerie,

Ruining a nice day of poetry?

It is not fair

to rhyme "fougère"

with "Gary" and it draws my ire

Lather: Catie's Bubbles - Florentine Fern

I'll post about u/enndeegee's shave, instead of my own

There once was a Redditor, u/enndeegee,

Who scrubbed while he shaved with much glee.

To Spice Girls he'd dance,

In pajamas or pants,

His bathroom was quite the scene, you see!

Day 21

• Brush: Frank Shaving – 20mm Synthetic Silvertip
• Razor: Gillette Executive Fatboy
• Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
• Lather: Talbot Shaving – Heliopteris Soap
• Post Shave: Spearhead Shaving – Seaforth! Heather Splash
• Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving – Seaforth! Heather EdT

The first sentence of this soap description is “Heliopteris is my take on a Fougere”. So that checks off today’s theme right off the bat! Then is goes on to say “The name Heliopteris is a mash-up of the words ‘Helio’, which means Sun, and ‘Pteris’, which is a genus of fern. Together, meaning Sun Fern.” I’m super happy they told us that because I was thinking this soap was named after a helicopter dinosaur. I relied on AI to bring my vision to life this time. If u/Priusaurus is half Prius/half dinosaur, I think having Heliopteris be half Helicopter/half dinosaur only makes sense. It’d be pretty crazy if those existed. Maybe they can workshop this idea for the next Jurassic World movie. I can see it now, Dr. Wu is tired of creating dinosaurs that are just dinosaurs, so he genetically modifies them to be half machine and half dinosaur. Someone call Michael Crichton! There’s something here! And maybe a soapmaker can get to work on a soap dedicated to a helicopter dinosaur! With rockets!!! 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀 AND FLAMES!!!!!!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Heliopteris brings an exceptional fougere experience with its rich, earthy, and green notes. When I lathered it up, it smelled like I was stepping into a lush fern forest, where every breath is filled with the fresh, green aroma of nature. After the shave, I used Heather by Spearhead Shaving. This aftershave is scented with really nice blend of lavender, moss, and herbal notes. To my nose, it is pretty heavy on the lavender and I thought it complements the Heliopteris soap perfectly, extending the green, botanical experience with some more floral notes. To carry the fougere theme throughout the day, I finished with a few sprays of Heather EdT. This eau de toilette obviously matches the scent of the splash, which I really enjoyed. I picked up a sample splash and had to buy the EdT. Heather really does have the essence of a classic fougere with its harmonious blend of lavender, green notes, and a touch of spice. It’s a scent that feels timeless yet modern, grounding yet uplifting. #FOF

Daily/Special Challenge: /u/Enndeegee Appreciation Day

In his home, Enndeegee was firm,
Hating scrubs was his only concern.
He crafted a list,
No scrubs would persist,
To clear his domain was his term.

To show I'm no scrub, I'll display,
With Catie's Bubbles in my shave today.
Lathering fine and grand,
Smooth cheeks, you understand,
Enndeegee, my shave's a triumph!

With Catie's Bubbles Blugere aftershave,
And Spearhead Seaforth! Heather, hooray!
Aftershave soothes with grace,
EdT's scent, I embrace,
In grooming, a blend that lasts all day!

Enndeegee will rejoice with glee,
When the Lather Games are done, you'll see.
Every scrub he'll track down,
In his triumph, no frown,
His domain scrub-free, as it should be.

Fragrance description

Blugère is a favorite around here for a reason. It's fantastic, no other way to put it. It's like walking through a wild blueberry patch in the woods.

Spearhead Seaforth! Heather, though, I'm not too big of a fan. It's not bad by any sense of the imagination, but just not one I'd reach for often. I think it is because it is a tad "soapy."

Limerick (u/Enndeegee) Day:

Those initials foretell so much malice.
Is he excessively raising a chalice?
Be that as it may,
You see what's at stake:
It's to compensate for a wee phallus.

Would I say all these things, but in prose?
No, I wouldn't, but really, who knows?
Don't take heed in these words;
Consider them turds!
It's all I could think to compose.

I don't know how to write one of these.
And I wouldn't, if I did what I please.
Priusaurus may win
And I say, "Let him!"
Because he's spending the Games on his knees. 👀
^^u/Priusaurus

In these poems I can't take any pride;
I know that they seem rather snide.
I can't help but be sad;
The Games drive players mad!
And the dino's been broken by pride.

Truth be told, I don't know what he's done.
Something 'bout mowing? A thing with a bun?
The djudges aren't bosses,
So just cut your losses;
No one cares if you're not number one.

Just in case this is something you don't know
And I say this to all, plus the dino:
Relinquish the Games—
It's not worth the pains—
And let the victor be u/ginopono

#FOF
Feats of Fragrance, I've failed you this year.
'Cause I fucked the tag's format, I fear.
But it's all for the best
And I say this in jest:
I've no praise I can say for fougères.

That's not how you pronounce fougères.
Yeah, I know; just get out of my hair.
An approximate rhyme
When words don't fall in line?
Whatever; That's totally fair.

#photocontest Humor
I can joke when it's all on the fly.
But a humourous photo? Why try?
So I took a webcomic
Lest I seem catatonic—
Except puns make me just want to die.

I might hope that I've not made a mess
I wish you, one and all, great success!
Good luck in the Games
Reject any shame
I'll stop there, though, because I digress.

If you've ever smelled Martin de Candre "Fougere", this is very similar. I prefer Topanga Fougere, as it's slightly less bright and comes in a better soap base.

The Damaskeene is pretty much the perfect GEM razor for me. It's mild compared to most other GEM options, but the results are pretty damn good! Not as close of a shave as, say, a Micromatic Open Comb, but more more fun.

• Fragrance: Declaration Grooming - Contemplation

Ladies and gentlemen, the byline for today's theme is "fern-centric scents, yet we are told that the ferniest of ferny scents do not fit today's theme, but other scents that smell nothing like fern might fit. The category of fougére can be broad and loose in many descriptions, so the need for some guidelines is necessary. However, I move that the byline be rewritten in the future, because although fougére means fern, there is much more to this scent family then that. Now, MAYBE, I'm just salty because I didn't read the materials in advance, but in my defense, it is my lazy time of year. (Seriously, glad I listened to the podcast, thanks guys!)

Now I ask that we change our focus to the important part of today's case.

Luckily my den allowed me to easily pivot to another fougère that I am very familiar with. One that falls firmly within this category's. Now, I'm sure some of you are thinking that my laziness kicked in and I copy and pasted my barbershop shave and forgot to change what I used. Others probably just think I've lost it, which to be fair, is probably true. However, if I have gone crazy it is certainly not on this point. Not only is Picture Day a barbershop scent, but also a fougére. It is clearly listed as such on the product page. It just never seemed to get much attention as such.

Picture Day is our take on a classic fougére. The transition from bergamot and lavender to the spicy and creamy oakmoss, to the sweet and woody base notes provides an excellent fougére experience. pairfum.com explains that a classic fougére contains lavender, bergamot, geranium, coumarin, oakmoss, and vetiver. With the exception of geranium and vetiver (keep in mind coumarin is derived from tonka beans) Picture Day isn't just a loose interpretation, its actually a pretty faithful take on a classic fougére, one that just leans woodsy, which is not at all uncommon amongst fougéres.

I know what you're thinking, okay, that's a pretty compelling case, and a meh shit post, BUT you can't just retroactively decide that a discontinued scent fits a category, even if it is clearly right there on the actual products page. Well friend, I agree, that wouldn't really work no matter how much I want my precious point for the day  If only there were time stamped pieces of evidence I could point to to support my case that Picture Day has been considered fougére for more than a few hours… 

I'd like to enter this FB post into evidence. Here I am as a baby 2 month old artisan, but not new scent maker, describing a scent that I had just released that fit into an event the East Coast Wet Shavers group was doing.

I'd like to enter this Reddit exchange into evidence. Here is u/colt_45s_with_lando 3.5 years ago independently noting that he sees Picture Day as a fougére and myself agreeing with him.

Additionally, I also know for a fact I had this discussion with ~~resident pain in the ass~~ esteemed former judge u/jeffm54321; however, that must have been on IRC because I couldn't find it on Reddit.

Gentlemen of the judges panel, you will see that I have proven that the scent notes in Picture Day are consistent with a fougére. I have proven that the experience of smelling and wearing Picture Day is consistent with fougére. That I am not the only one who independently came to that conclusion. Finally, I have proven that the talented creator of this scent has considered it a fougére from the very beginning. Clearly, there is only 1 decision you can make in your deliberation, only 1 decision that the evidence leads to, only 1 decision that will allow you to sleep tonight.

Defense rests.

Passiflora’s a scent quite divine,

From Barrister and Mann, so fine.

With notes of fresh green,

It’s fragrance serene,

In my shave den, it surely does shine.

There's passionfruit mingled with grace,

A hint of sweet florals in place.

A fougere as its base,

It's a scent that will chase

Any worries right out of your space.

.

Each lather brings forth a bouquet,

Transporting you far, far away.

To meadows and streams,

Where the morning sun beams,

In a wonderful, fragrant display.

.

The splash, it's a perfect accord,

With Wilde Flowers that can't be ignored.

It soothes and it charms,

After shave, no alarms,

Just a skin that’s refreshed and restored.

.

Then the EdT gives a last touch,

A fragrance that’s never too much.

It lingers and plays,

Through the rest of your days,

With a scent you’ll grow fond of, and such.

.

Passiflora, a joy to behold,

In each product, its story is told.

A fougere delight,

From morning to night,

It’s a scent that’s pure #FOF gold.

Google says fougère fragrances are inspired by the scent of ferns, moss, wood, and green notes. They typically include citrus, rose, and geranium.

According to Chiseled Face, Jarnvidr is inspired by ancient Norse woods. "The heart of Járnviðr holds the aromatic duo of Cedar and Geranium, which brings a touch of green freshness, invigorating the senses much like a walk through a verdant forest after a soft rain. Light, refreshing notes of Orange cut through, lending a crisp citrus twist that lifts the entire composition." And there's a strong, lingering rose note, too. I assert this is a fougere in all but name.

After shaving his face
He pleaded his case

But Allum did stop it, I concede
Everyone expects a scent dickhole
Not really something I can control
Nothing but Fougere Angelique me indeed

Don’t try to DQ Fougere Angelique

Every other fougere oppresses my nose
Gratuitous fern scents I oppose
Educate if I’m wrong so to speak

SOAP I wasn’t always a fan of Fougeres until I sampled this collab and it was love at first sight! It’s a super strong intoxicating scent that not only caresses your face initially but bites you in the end. Cat lovers anyone? I’m a big fan of strong scents that last all day since my disgust with my own body smell so the stronger the better.

RAZOR - Blade is still kicking !!!

THE THEME - It’s Fougere Friday so here is my sad attempt at using every first letter from today’s theme!

Finally a day that I can rest.
Otherwise I wouldn’t be my best .
Unwind I will today .
Get out and play .
Except for today’s shaving test

Relax and chill my peeps .
Enjoy a shave with no weeps .
Friends we are almost there .
Results I hope to be fair .
In these last couple weeks .

Do your best in this competition .
Although I have this admonition .
You better follow the rules .
Stop being fools .
So polish your submissions .

At dawn’s ungodly hour, I stumble blind,
With bleary eyes and hair a wild disgrace.
Spearhead! Heather soap to soothe my mind,
Lavender and bergamot save face.

Puma 52, my lethal foe,
Gleams menacingly in the dimmest light.
Hess Barber boar brush, bristles rough as woe,
Geranium and sage, a fragrant fight.

With trembling hand, I lather like a loon,
Oakmoss and coumarin, chaos in the air.
Each stroke a gamble, bloodbath coming soon,
My nose intact? A miracle, I swear.

At last, I slap on aftershave, half mad,
Fougère Angelique—this shave ain’t half bad!

Some limericks will have to do.

Chorus
Ay-yi-yi-yi,
The Lather Games are silly.
So, sing me another verse
That’s worse than the other verse
And waltz me around by my willy.

Use of Theme: Fougère Friday

Ahh, the fresh smell of green ferns,
For the countryside this shaver yearns.
But avoid “leaves of three,”
And happy you’ll be,
Or the itch’ll be so fierce it burns.

There once was a man named Sri,
A soap maker he wanted to be.
The Kaw it is Wholly,
With lots of neroli,
And instead of one fat it has three.

A delightful post shave I hath,
From a picturesque Scottish strath.
I smell freshly scrubbed,
Right out of the tub,
Like a ‘ristocrat after his bath.

Beau De Jour EdP by Tom Ford,
It has to win an award.
I purchased a sample,
The vial t’wasn’t ample,
But a big bottle I’d never afford.

For he is today’s honoree.

And appropriately shitty,
Or forever scrubs we shall be.

SOTD Pic Note: My SOTD picture was staged prior to flying out the Philippines to Bali. I brought with me samples/smushes/decants of all needed software for LG use during this trip. Here's a pic of today's wares taken just prior to shaving.

Daily Theme & Relevant Post/Frag: Wholly Kaw markets today's soap as a fougère in the simplest of ways; it's right there in the name of the soap - Fougère Mania.

As stated in its product page, Fougère Mania is neroli forward. I leaned into neroli when selecting my post and frag. The post (a Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò dupe) is very citrus forward, with neroli being one of the scents contributing to its citrus main accord. The frag (a Tom Ford Neroli Portofino dupe) not only has neroli as one of its middle notes, neroli is right there in name of the frag.

The Shave: When preparing for today's shave I discovered that the master bedroom ensuite does not have a mirror over the vanity. How do you shave without a mirror? Not very well as I proved yesterday with my outdoor shave. Shaving without a mirror sucks. Luckily Wholly Kaw's Siero tallow is uber protective and kept the nicks and cuts away.

There once was a shaver named Priusaurus
Who’s face hiding was really sus.
While his bits got old
The judges were sold
And they chose to ignore all of us.

Fougère, the smell of ferns if ferns had a smell. Or more specifically the outdoors. Now I want to get the elephant in the room out of the way. There was some discussion on whether this was a fougère but as noted it is specifically called one on the soaper’s site. The label has ferns all over it. We can debate endlessly what it really is, but for the sake of the rules it fits as noted in the above linked post. (Though I am skeptical Rogue lets that out the door without some input so maybe it is a Fougère) But what to do with the smell of outside? Well, the first thing we do is take a day off work. Second is to curse that u/oldhiker day was yesterday. But my work schedule is what it is because “Work Sucks.” You got the backyard shave yesterday, but the full circus today. Third thing we do is realize my daughter also has a day off camp and I’m watching her today. That means, fourth thing is tell her “Get in the car we’re going shaving.” (Addendum, son’s camp was canceled this morning due to a water main break. So, both kids got dragged into this).
See, the judges seem to really want public shaves. They just collect legendary points. It’s true u/priusaurus has basically patented the outdoors/in public shave. But I would contend doing it in the urban jungle is just wrong and perhaps a bit played out. In fact, it’s the antithesis of shaving. Now while u/airbudruler’s relationship with the verb “shave” is of some debate, the one thing he absolutely gets right is that shaving is a selfcare mentality. A relaxing bit of our day. This doesn’t preclude hijinks. New challenges (like leg shaving or figuring out how to balance your gear for a picture) can add a feeling of accomplishment to the shave. That feeling you get when you conquer a new battle or learn a new skill. But shaving on a street corner? That’s just stressful, you can’t enjoy it. You gotta rush, worry about being shooed away, etc. Shaving while mowing the lawn? That’s just a chore. Shaving while being sprayed in the face by a water toy? Not bad, but I did that last year.
No, if you want to get in touch with shaving as relaxation you have to go “touch grass,” as the zoomers might say. Get into nature as it were. u/onionmiasma came so close with is beach shave last year probably because it was my idea! But in the end, he landed at The Bean shaving in the urban jungle with his underwear on the ground. So sad! So, I’m going to execute the relaxing outdoor shave this year to show everyone how it should be. I’m going to go back to my hoosier (no not Indiana, the local definition) roots here, and take y’all on a hike. While I’m heartend by the number of people who did this yesterday, unlike everyone who packed it up and went home, we’re gonna enjoy the great outdoors for a day, in solitude (uhh well trio-tude, remember I got the kids today.)
First up, local conservation area. Missouri has a strange conservation system. Almost 10% of our land is some sort of park. Lots of open land even before you get to the farms. This particular conservation area is of the “untamed wilderness” variety. Which means a poorly marked trail and otherwise left to grow on its own. Thick with trees. We’re gonna hike down into the forest, where ferns grow, and shave. But first, we need our lather plate. Then settle, lather, and shave
Having shaved, a quick stop by the post office to send u/priusaurus a little gift, then off to a giant nuclear waste pile. Yes, you read that right. See, Missouri refined a lot of uranium and plutonium for the atomic bomb program. Like all things in the 1950s this was done poorly and contaminated a huge area. The cleanup resulted in a 75-foot-tall, 41 acre, pile of rocks covering the container with the most contaminated soil. It’s a [DOE “Interpretative Site”] (https://www.energy.gov/lm/weldon-spring-site-interpretive-center) now. You can take a set of stairs up the pile. It’s the tallest non-building point in the metro area. My daughter and I are going to see how far we can throw a line-of-sight ham signal from here. u/absenth did some math for me and came up with possibly as far as Kansas City. Now, I say this to make a broader point. Maybe we can bury the toxic sludge of this urban shave obsession that has polluted lather games 75ft under a pile of rocks, in a lead lined container, like this radioactive waste, and use the resulting pile to reach new distances! (It’s over 100 degrees up here BTW, so not enough time to shave before heat exhaustion sets in. Giant limestone pile, the sun, physics.)
Finally, my kids and I are going to go to yet another conservation area, right next to the waste pile. This one is “ponds, ponds, and lakes” (and old military bunkers, see uranium processing above). We’re going fishing. Why? We like fishing. It’s relaxing. It’s selfcare. A fitting end to a day of fern smells and outdoors play. Y’all can keep your urban jungle. If I’m gonna shave outside, in public, I’m gonna do it somewhere relaxing.
For #photocontest: Air. My lather plate was a plant! They make Air. For #fof, these are all Zingari products, but the soap and frag both compliment this outdoor day. Whether it’s a fougère or not Moose Illumani smells like the outdoors. And The Highlander is “olfactory journey through the majestic Scottish Highlands.” Another not quite fougère but conjuring the great outdoors. I bridged them with unscented because I had nothing else that made sense. Kids also got a highlander spray so we can all enjoy the great outdoors smelling great together. They were happy.

• Razor: Game Changer .68P
• Blade: Gillette Nacet
• Lather: Spearhead Shaving - Seaforth! Heather
• Post Shave: Noble Otter - Logbook Splash
• Fragrance: Barrister and Mann - Fougère Angelique #FOF

Fougère Theme:

Come on it’s Seaforth! Heather. Not much justification needed, but on the Spearhead site it is called a classic fougère created for them by Shawn Maher. Noble Otter says Logbook is a woody fougère. Finally, Fougère Angelique has it in the name.

Fragrant Theme:

I don’t focus on classic fougère scents much. I tend to get tired of the ferny/mossy notes before it wears off. I like the scents when first applied, but they are often not what I want for 4-6 hours. Makes today a bit more tricky since I don’t have many classic fougère post shaves. Heather is still a great scent, and I love the green impression it gives. I like to imagine I’m back in Scotland hiking amongst the heather when I use this. I’ve been to Scotland a couple times. I backpacked for a couple weeks before the school year started. Then after all the year end stuff was over, went to play golf at St. Andrews - Old Course. Absolutely a beautiful place, and any excuse to relive that is welcome. Logbook is similar to Heather. They pair pretty well without any clashing of discordant notes. It might have a slightly stronger citrus top note, but still a very earthy green scent to me. I recently picked up Fougère Angelique on sale. I was curious to see how the Angelique/Gothique pair would contrast so picked up a sample of that too. Angelique is one I think I can wear all day. It has a bright citrus punch lightening the earthiness of oak moss. Floral notes come through a little better. It is a bright, sunny day today, and Angelique fits well with that. Overall, the scents have so much in common. It is no surprise that they work well together. Not my favorite category, but I can see why it is a classic.

The part of “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me” that stuns me when a caller misses one:

1.

Oh, what to use for a Fougère?

I guess, I could use Beaudelaire.

Instead I’ll say nope!

And go with the soap.

That has a classic scent by Shawn Maher.

2.

This Friday is Fougère’s turn.

The scent that is French for a fern.

The scents you can tell,

Are a classic cologne smell.

If it’s by A&E it may burn.

3.

When guys have to shave their legs,

This tricky task really begs,

For a soap with no faults.

Maybe one made from smaltz?

Stone Cottage is a small soap company based in North Jersey that doesn't make shave soap any more, I have this sample thanks to u/jwoods23. The fougere scent is great, definitely leans a bit more powdery to my nose. But the base is just ok, I bowl lathered and really pushed the hydration and still it wasn't super slick and leaves the face feeling dry. Followed it up with Fougere Mania, which is a more citrusy fougere, and then a few sprays of one of my favorite fragrances, Ineke's Idyllwild, which is an aromatic fougere that smells like a walk in a cool California forest. I adore this scent. I even used a green brush to embrace the fougere spirit.

There once was a shaver named Enndeegee,

• Brush: Stirling x Zenith 510SE-XL
• Razor: Blackland Blackbird
• Blade: Lord super stainless
• Lather: Chicago Grooming Co. (Formerly Oleo Soapworks) / House of Mammoth – Armonia

Armonía is a tobacco fougere made by CGC and fragrance by HoM. To me, it is sharp. Right off, it’s green and aggressive, perhaps astringent which fades away to allow the tobacco, not sweet but dry, and undertone greens to come through. Distinctly a fougere, but also distinctly different than what is out there. My memory for this is of my dad. He used Brut AS my entire life, which I didn’t realize until recently was a fougere. In my mind, it’s the stereotype for fougeres and armonía brings back that memory with that sharp upfront note that I remember so vividly. Not all the fougere I have used do this. I can remember my dad giving me a yellow and white disposable razor with a cap, a handful of Barbasol, and we would shave together when I was maybe 4 or 5. After that shave, we would each get a little splash of Brut. I usually used one tiny drop because it was too much for my developing nose.

I found a scent I recognize

Being told of the fresh fern note lies

Run through the forest

The truth is the surest

It’s but the notes while winter springifies

• Lather: Spearhead Shaving - Seaforth! Heather
• Post Shave: Spearhead Shaving - Seaforth! Heather

Today's Theme is Fougère Friday and per Dennis of Spearhead Shaving:

"The scent for Seaforth! Heather was developed by Shawn Maher of Chatillon Lux and Maher Olfactive.  Heather is a classic fougère structure, but instead of a dated, oakmoss-heavy fougère, it leans to the light and soapy side. It has a crisp green note of clary sage in place of the weighty, damp green oakmoss, fortified with a big dose of French and Bulgarian lavender and sunny bergamot citrus. Along with geranium, a classically crisp, fruity-green note, Heather is an invigorating, refreshingly classic scent without feeling dated."

Today's challenge is to appreciate u/Enndeegee - poetically:

There once was a shaver named Enndeegee,

Clearing way stubble with glee

On the watch for scrubs,

And other misbegotten schlubs,

To point out for all to see.

Take care and have a good one.

Today's shave was quite the affair,
With fougeres that filled up the air.
Start with Blugere so fine,
Blueberries and fougere combine,
A refreshing blend that's beyond compare.

Next came Prom King Splash, so bold,
From Summer Break Soaps, I'm sold!
Its citrusy zest, Put my skin to the test,
Leaving me feeling dapper and bold.

Finished with Le Male EdT,
From Jean Paul Gaultier, you see.
A classic, it's true,
With a scent that just knew,
Today's shave was meant to be free!

Now, I'm shaved and smelling divine,
Thanks to these scents - they're so fine.

They're all fougeres good to inhale,
Demonstrating the best fragrance design.

• Post Shave: Spearhead - Seaforth! Heather aftershave
• Fragrance: Tom Ford - Fougère Platine

I’m curious why they call themselves Los Jabrones de Joserra. Although they're Spanish, seaching "Joserra" brings up instead Josera, is a German pet food company. “Jabroni” obviously has several negative (if jocular) shades of meaning. Anyway, Spanish Fern is a type of fougère: among its listed notes are lavender, oakmoss, and courmarin (aka tonka bean). There’s also a prominent minty note. The soap produced a nice lather (this was my first use of anything by this artisan).

Thank you to several people who responded with helpful advice about GEM razors. I like the razor I bought (for about fifteen dollars), but unfortunately the small, horizontal latch in the middle that helps hold the blade in place is slightly loose. I was able to shave with it, but it needs fixing.

The aftershave and the perfume offer a study in how different “fougère” fragrances can smell. Seaforth! Heather is warm, mild, and approachable. Fougère Platine is sharp, astringent, and makes my eyes water (despite that, I like the smell, or at least want to like it).

He’s still not eating like normal and he’s still pretty tired, but he looks so much better and does seem to have the most energy he has had since this all started last Saturday.

Todays Challenge

Let’s see…. There once was a man from Kent

Whose dic… oh wait can’t use that one

Oh I know! There once was a man from Hearth

Who was cursed from birth

With a corkscrew di…. Nope not that one either How about these 2?

Today I used Seaforth! Heather

Perma-Sharp blade not a feather

Some say they’re the sHArPesT

Others say the harshest

Face feels like it went through a shredder

Maybe this one?

Today was the Heather trick

So I’m gonna make this quick

Some say no imagination

This is u/enndeegee appreciation

Trifecta or hole of dick?

June 21, 2024 – LG 21: FougERAS TOUR Friday

• Brush: Maggard Purple Swirl Synthetic
• Razor: Gillette Tech
• Blade: Voskhod (5)
• Lather: Wholly Kaw – Fougere Mania
• Post Shave: Barrister and Mann – Fern
• Fragrance: Barrister and Mann – Fougere Gothique

Challenge first today:

Today we shave with a fougere
For endeegee LG rules he did not care
Celebrating no scrubs
And wet lathery bubbs
In lather games all plays are fair

The tidbit the podcast about WK Fern Concerto was a bit funny, especially consider WK offers fougere mania, parfaite, and bouquet all as fougere options.

For #FOF mania is a bit citrusy and slightly floral take. Fern (Wills recreation/tribute to Fougere Royale which I of course haven’t smelled) is clean and crisp green, with mossy undertones. Gothique is on the opposite end of the spectrum, super earthy and damp, mushroom like. Though hints of bitter citrus peek through that actually feel more prominent as time goes on (at ~2 hours) which is unique in that I feel citrus is often the first to fade. I know it’s popular in these parts, but I’m still partial to its lighter and brighter sister scent FA.

For our #PHOTOCONTEST we went with Bokeh Balls. Who would have thought LG photos would take center stage over T Swift at Wembley?! Clearly r/wetshaving is a global phenomenon.

June 21, 2024 - Fougère Friday

• Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts Matterhorn w/ 28 mm Maggard SHD
• Razor: Blackland Blackbird
• Blade: Wizamet (35)
• Lather: Catie's Bubbles - Blugere
• Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Fougere Classique
• Fragrance: Southern Witchcrafts - Fougere Nemata

Challenge: I wrote two. Choose your favorite.

---

A fougere of blueberry and moss
Goes together like Rachel and Ross
I think it smells great
I'm sure most can relate
It you can't, then xir, that's your loss

---

A fougere topped with blueberry
Catie’s Bubbles scent most merry
It made a mean lather
With brush knot of badger
Now my face is no longer hairy

---

Some people don't like fougères. And, those people are ~~wrong~~ entitled to their opinion. I love fougères. There’s a nice variety in the genre. You can find old fashioned oakmoss heavy fougères. And powdery, lavender forward barbershop fougères. Or green, aromatic fougères. Armonia is an example of a tobacco fougere. There’s even fruity fougères, like Passione. Blugere is fruity. Blueberry is a fun addition. There's lots of blueberry goodness in this fragrance. The fougere leans towards green notes. The lavender is slightly soapy. The oakmoss is toned down in favor of a woody scent. It’s fantastic.

Fougère Classique is based on the original formula for Fougère Royale. It’s mossy and floral. The base is composed of woody, leathery, resinous, and amber notes. The heavy base notes linger for quite a while. The floral notes soften the fragrance with an aromatic touch. Fougère Royale is a historically important fragrance. It’s cool to smell Will’s revised take. It's classic and masculine. It's not the best for hot weather.

Fougère Nemata is another fougère that plays with fruit. Only this time, it’s strawberry. It’s aromatic and green. There’s a bitter note, like crushed leaves or stems. The strawberry nestles in the bitterness, which makes it feel like it’s picked fresh off the plant. There are some floral notes that flow in and out of perception. It’s brighter than Blugere, but less fruity. I really like the aromatic, bitter quality of this fragrance. I feel like a strawberry.

#photocontest - Cactus. Fun fact: I bought this cactus for the photo and got stuck as soon as I got home.

Hey, look, fougère is in the name.

Some scents grow on you. Others you sour on. This is the latter. Loved it when I first got it and now think it smells like mushroom dirt. Oh well.

Limerick:

There once was a man from Nantucket

Whose SOTDs were so long we said fuck it

We rated them offensive

Despite being pensive

So he quit and told us to suck it

Top notch limerick.

I had nothing for today. And I’m scrolling through and see the post from u/rocketk455 and the defense of Picture Day and figured why the hell not. It smells like clay or dirt to me. But I have a terrible sense of smell. But it smells more fern-y that it does barbershop-y to me

Today is a nice change of pace
in this crazy LG horse race
I like doing rhymes
For most of the times
I used Fougere to shave my face

What made today's shave really fun
Was because of how it was done
Or should I say where
Reader please beware
For I will always be the one

Our monthly shave meetup we had
Attending made me very glad
This was all well planned
You should understand
Not shaving home is out of fad

I did bring my trusty razor
Whose blades are sharp as a laser
Put soap on the brush
I was in a rush
The waitress my shave could amaze her

Sadly she did not see my shave
I did promise you I'd behave
With razor in hand
I took a firm stand
Once again my actions were brave

Now off to the restroom I did go
To put for the people a grand show
Those who were in there
Did not pay a fare
Shaving while I listen to pee flow

People asked me if I was alright
I explained that it was out of spite
Lending them the space
For washing their face
Hope I didn't give them a big fright

The shave went better than expected
There were no cuts to get infected
My face I did dry
Splash to face apply
My stuff I had to have collected

Back to the table I had return
Everyone's high respect I did earn
They joked and they laughed
We cheered with our draught
In the end the meet we did adjourn

A very nice shave. I have not used my Chiseled Face Legacy razor in some time, and it did not disappoint. The Stone Cottage Soapworks Fougère was nice, but not on the same level as the Martin de Candre Fougère I have used in the past. I chose PAA Fresco aftershave, because it is described as an aromatic fougère. It was way to strong and gave me a headache. I won't be using that again. Still a new razor, blade, brush, soap brand and aftershave.

The Moos is the only Fougére in my den, and I'm happy to have it. I really enjoy the way the scent changes from soap > to splash > edt. The further down the line you go, the spicier the combination gets. I have no complaints about performance either.

A limerick for the man himself:

A fragrance so divine,

A nice, refreshing routine to share.

• Razor: Karve Christopher Bradley (brass, SB-D)
• Blade: Wizamet
• Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Varen
• Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Fougere Classique

Both of these scents are fougere's so we're on theme and relevant. No frag today because everything I have would be a really, really bullshit stretch argument and I don't feel like making a judge read that.

Got a great lather out of Varen today, probably could've gone for a tad more water, but it was plenty slick and drippy. Fougere Classique is a personal favorite scent. This is one of the few splashes I have a backup bottle of.

A limerick for /u/Enndeegee:

Last year I tortured you with coffee milk tea
This year you get off scot free
I went to the tea shop
to get my usual cup
but they only had Earl Grey for me

You lucky bastard, don't have to suffer through another year of me torturing you with weird coffee tea drinks. In all seriousness, I'm really glad you participate as much as you do. The lather games wouldn't be the same without the scrub list.

Today's photo contest theme is Birds. I got ahold of this Lego Kingfisher set finally and spent most of this evening after my shave building it. The picture shows what it'll look like once it's done, and you can see how far I got tonight. Looking forward to finishing it tomorrow. #photocontest

Pretty long day and had to try and squeeze in a shave this evening. Absolutely top notch shave overall and this is definitely upper tier as far as personal preference goes. Getting some more use on the CFL, L7 is one of my favorite general use knots and Zingari Sego products are also an absolute joy to use. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

I'm a sucker for fougère scents, and CB has two of my favorites. The herbal take on the fougère from Florentine Fern and the fruit-forward impression from Blugère. To finish everything off, Nemata provided just the right balance.

CB's lather also provided a great place to start for the straight razor shave. I'm still trying to get comfortable with shaving with an open blade. While not a bad shave, I still struggle to get as close a shave as I would like.

With a straight razor and fougère in play,
I shaved like a pro, no delay.
But my hand shook with fright,
And I nicked myself right,
Now I've got a new scar on display!
