- Lather: Chef John’s – Beef Jus

In what may have become a Lather Games tradition, today came about after some friendly banter with u/djundjila about Reuben sandwiches and incorporating a homemade Reuben in my shave last year. DJ, the offer still stands. When you come to Ohio, we’ll go to Katzinger’s Deli for Reubens. Or maybe you’ll change your mind? On second thought when I answer the rhetorical question I posed to you awhile ago in your Desert Wecktiver shave you may just want to stick to Reubens.
For those of you who want to really see a guy rub a weck all over his face: Welcome to Djonut’s Delicatessen!
Keeping the Theme Alive
Lather notes: Beef
Post shave notes: Horseradish
Fragrance: Balsamic Vinegar
All are recipe ingredients.
Today’s shave:
Freshly baked in the Djonut kitchen Kümmelweck (caraway rolls)
Buffalo New York’s signature Beef on Weck
The debut of the Chopstick Kamisori v.2. (All you really need to see.)
Today I took what good sense I had left this month and flushed it down the crapper, then immediately regretted my horrible decision and dove into the crapper in a lame attempt to get it back. To no avail.
What’s to be said about rubbing a piece of bread soaked in gravy all over your face? I can say beef jus sure tasty with a Beef on Weck, but it absolutely makes a piss poor lather.
The Chopstick Kamisori v.2 features a new and improved bamboo handle and thread whipping to secure the GEM blade in place. The inaugural shave with it the was the worst shave. Ever. At least I drew no blood like last year. I can’t think of using anything worse, but maybe a rusty garden hoe.
For post shave toning everything beats a nice dollop of prepared horseradish. Tasty on beef, but it stung like a MFer. I suppose it has some astringent qualities and may actually benefit my skin in the end.
The magical ingredient, Balsamic Vinegar, in the jus turns out to be just as magical as a fragrance. I have the sweet tart aroma of a salad dressing lingering in my space and it is quite delightful. Hmmmm… I foresee another group soap buy coming soon from whatever ̶s̶u̶c̶k̶e̶r̶ soap artisan wants to take this on as a project.
What? The Daily Challenge is not to record yourself shaving with a deli sandwich and a janky Kamisori? We’re supposed to give a shave den tour? Surely the Djudges have better sense? Well, whatever. Here it is.
