July 19th 2023 - Lather Games Day 19
- Brush: Zenith MOAR BOAR
- Razor: GEM G-Bar
- Blade: GEM PTFE (11)
- Lather: Catie's Bubbles - Blugère
- Post Shave: Catie's Bubbles - Blugère
- Fragrance: Rogue Perfumery - Mousse Illuminèe
CREAM day and lucky for me, Catie's Bubbles Luxury Cream base counts because I used my wife's shaving cream during Goop Day. And damn, Blugère (respect the diacritic!) is the shit. I've lived in New Jersey for my whole life and the fact that it inspired such a phenomenal scent fills me with state pride. The Luxury Cream base is soft and the lather it makes is creamy and slick. It's just a total pleasure to shave with this stuff. I broke out my G Bar today, a razor that I love the look of but have failed to make a connection with as sometimes it can be a bit rough for me. No issues to report today though, the razor was fine.
I topped it off with Mousse Illuminèe, which is connected to Blugère not only because it also features a mostly-ignored diacritic, but both have a woody base with green fougere elements, except Mousse Illuminèe cranks up the very subtle oakmoss in Blugère up to 11. I bet this would go well with Varen as well, for a real oakmoss bomb.
As for today's challenge, Blugère is a goddamn treasure and I won't sully it by sticking a sock, clean or otherwise, in it.
