    • Blade: Personna Med Prep
    • Lather: E&S Rasage - Solstice - Soap
    • Post Shave: Chiseled Face - Natural - Aftershave

    Day 1 of Lather Games: Using this E&S Rasage sample that I'm fairly certain I got in a Pasteur's order. It was pretty good. it's the vegan formula. I think they also have a tallow version. The CFG splash with its menthol did not disappoint.

    Day 6 of Lather Games: Great trickhole! Seaforth! Heather is such a good scent.

    While I didn't use a Chatillon Lux trickhole, I did at least manage to serendipitously use a fragrance at least created by Hawns, so that's a neat coincidence.

    As for today's challenge, I will not be tricked by Big Aftershave's and Big Fragrance's little ploy to have us shatter our splash and cologne bottles on countertops and tile floors. Buying 2/3 of a trifecta again because I was thristy for 2/3 of a point? No, sir, not I.

    • Blade: Personna Med Prep
    • Lather: Stirling Soap Company - Black Ice - Soap
    • Post Shave: Proraso - Protective with Aloe and Vitamin E (Blue) - Balm

    Day 7 of Lather Games: I had originally planned to use Melange to really hit the Fremen Friday nail on the head, but I just wasn't feeling it. I looked at the referenced list of spice notes on Fragrantica, and I saw an early and immediate standout... Anise. I happen to have Stirling Black Ice, which is scented with anise essential oil. It also features menthol. It's like an ice cold shot of sambuca. I chose to pair it with the Proraso Blue balm because Italy and because it uses licorice extract to soothe the skin. The scent is not noticeably licorice-y - it's actually "a modern, spicy fragrance with notes of amber and musk" - but I figured it wouldn't conflict with the anise scent too much.

    Day 12 of Lather Games: I used LASSCo Vert Noir in the original base. Organic coconut oil is ingredient #3, which is not surprising for a base that was essentially reverse engineered from MdC's ingredients list. For today's challenge, I scooped out some Vert Noir from the tub and placed it in a bowl and proceeded to build my lather in the bowl. As one who loads from the tub and lathers on the face, this wasn't nearly as enjoyable as my usual routine.

    Day 13 of Lather Games: Glastonbury++

    I'll recommend Bron-Y-Aur Stomp by Led Zeppelin. Supposedly Glastonbury was started after the five saw an open-air concert Led Zeppelin did. Bron-Y-Aur Stomp is from Led Zeppelin III which was released the month after the first Glastonbury festival. I picked it because it's one that's less heard from this album and seemed fitting for the shave today.

    Day 24 of Lather Games: I got this sample of Fine Clubhouse from u/jeffm54321. He's always so generous with sending questionable soap samples... Banana, Clubouse, other crack purchases...

    Day 26 of Lather Games: That's right, Southern Witchcrafts Rosemary. As far as I know this is a one-off because u/phteven_j said they used all their rosemary oil for it. I had asked if this could be down and also had some venison to trade. The rest is history. No semen involved... hopefully

    Day 29 of Lather Games: So many choices for today's theme... I could probably do a whole month of different sandalwoods, but that's someone else's thing. cough u/35048467 cough I went with the Traditionalist in part to get my last sponsor in and also because it's been a while since I've used it.

    I'm probably the worst person to copy off of or have me do your homework in this matter, but I have taken note of u/priasaurus's interviews and u/Crisp_Mango's song parodies. Apologies to other strong contenders, but it's been a busy month and getting my SOTD's in has been about all I've had time for. I do hope the judges have enjoyed the general brevity of my write-ups...
