I won this set in a PIF from u/rocketk455 a few years ago and he is a current Lather Games participant; I was glad to be able to use this set today as it is summertime favorite of mine. The cooling level in the soap is refreshing without being eye-watering, and the splash hits a similar balance. The scent is great too, I remember it being nothing like I expected when I first got my sniffer on it and it has grown on me a lot ever since. And I had to use my Dogwood handle brush on their sponsor day.
The generous spirit of the sub has always been one of the things that has kept me telling strangers what I'm shaving with for like three years now; the brush was the only hardware today that I paid for. The smooth and simple Tech came from (I believe) u/verdadkc and this sample of Sundrunk was also tossed in by someone with another purchase.
The scent component of the shave today is more conceptual than strictly matching notes. Rope Swing is a summer day spent swimming and splashing in fresh water under the shade of some big trees, while Sundrunk is emerging from the shade into the heat of the sun for the walk home.
And so for the daily challenge I will say something nice about u/jeffm54321 because I appreciate his opening my mind to Waterlyptus and his trollish but ultimately welcoming spirit. And because of this trollish spirit I ended up with the soap and splash I used today, because he entered the PIF but did not follow Rocket's rules,, and was ultimately DQ'd leading to me winning the redraw. So thanks for Waterlyptus and Rope Swing.
