Lather Games Day 27- Easy Like Lavendursday
- Brush: Semogue 1800
- Razor: 1959 Gillette Fatboy
- Blade: Rapira Platinum Lux (5)
- Lather: Castle Forbes - Lavender Essential Oil Cream
- Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Lavender & Sage Splash
I have no problems shaving with lavender, unlike some of you whiny babies. But clearly, I don't shave with lavender often enough. Between the soap and the splash, I smell like a lavender bomb went off in my bathroom. Post shave, my wife looked at me strangely when she kissed me good morning. It was a look that said, "Who bodysnatched my husband in the middle of the night and brought me some dude who shaves with lavender??" My dog Opie felt the need to pee on my leg to mark his territory since I smelled strange to him. My dog Ainsley attempted to bare her teeth at me because I smelled different (fortunately, she just had her remaining teeth removed last week). Lavendursday has left my family confused. Thanks djudges. Just the way I wanted to start my day.
As to the Daily Challenge, I had high hopes of pulling off a lighthouse shave this year when Shave Outside day appeared on the calendar. I live close to one of the most iconic ones here in Maine and even closer to a smaller one that sits out on a jetty. Sadly, I have an early morning meeting and I couldn't pull it off. I'm also sad that I lost the opportunity to be the guy shaving by a lighthouse in a bunch of tourists' pictures.
