So, this shave wasn't good and I blame scrub police department commissioner u/Enndeegee. See, I'm traveling with Djunior right now, and since I like to travel light, I thought I'd just steel some stuff in the bathroom where we stay and it'll be fine. I had already found the perfect lather object, this decorative soap sculpture of a flower. I mean sure, I'd look like an asshole for lathering on it and ruining it, but that's the beauty of traveling with a two year-old: I could just blame it on an accident with Djunior who likes to touch pretty stuff. In comes u/Enndeegee with an additional last minute WCW rule: If you use a grooming product, any grooming product as your lather, you're a scrub. So I went looking for an alternative. There was a well organised medicine cabinet with some promising leads like after sun lotion and mosquito repellent, some very promising vaseline, paraffine, glycerin mix, but those are all dangerously close to grooming products. I did find an excellent aftershave gel, though. Next, the cleaning supplies: The most promising candidate was the organic, biodegradable bath cleaner, but when I read that it can be corrosive to certain metals, I feared about my pristine Weck Sextoblade Med Prep and moved on to the kitchen, and as of the writing of this, nobody has used mayonnaise yet. Phew.
Mayo is not good lather. It's greasy and not slick at the same time, and I was tempted to wash it off with soap, but I was worried u/Enndeegee might consider that an unsanctioned use of a grooming product as post shave, so I didn't and followed it up with the Ecofenac postshave pain relief, with has a surprisingly pungent smell. For the frag, I found a tester of some French edt and used it and u/Enndeegee can fuck off if he also requires non-grooming fragrances.
The relevant post and frag theme here is that everything is stolen from our hosts.
I'll come back and add the challenge, just posting this before someone posts a mayo shave.
Edit: Den Tour. Fuck. I'm not in the same canton as my den. I know I'm a Djudge and I should have remembered that this challenge would come up, but I forgot. It is lather games, so I'm traveling with pretty large travel den by non-hobbyist standards, but that's not what anyone is interested in. I do have a pretty decent database of all shaving items I've used since fall 2020, so that's the best I can do right now, I think. Welcome to the accountant's den tour/inventory of everything I've used in the replies to this comment.
