Huh, this challenge sounded so much worse than it turned out to be. I produced Desert Vetiver past that came off like spackle. It's not easy to convey through a photograph how pasty that blob in the picture is, so let me add that it was annoyingly difficult to rinse off.
I currently live off of this box of software and just the B8 brush and MedWeck because my shave den storage is our guest room and we have guests. I think I would have included a second, safer razor if I had remembered that this challenge was coming, and I was a bit worried about attempting this shitty lather shave with an open blade, but in the end it was really a non-issue, and I had a surprisingly pleasant shave.
I bought Desert Vetiver late last year after my wife gifted me the bottle of Terre D'Hermès Eau Intense Vétiver, and it quickly became a favourite of mine. Next to one another, it's difficult for me to say whether I prefer the original TDH or the SV dupe.
Edit: I completely forgot that I had prepared some content for Dupelgänger Day last year, back before I joined the Lather Games Organising Committee. It was in my "2023-06-Lather_Games" folder, which became obsolete when we moved the games to July. Without further ado, I present u/Vtephen_j, u/phteven_j's Brother from a Viking mother (meant to be a grade A Lather Games Organising Committee member Dupelgänger back then).
My second prepared example turns out to likely be an alter ego, rather than a Dupelgänger. I believe I have uncovered u/merikus's secret second career as a singer of children songs all my voice analyses indicate that this is indeed his voice (compare to this sample to convince yourself).
