2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Last year on Sandalwood day I used Barrister and Mann's Sandalwood and commented on how it was the favorite of the ones that I had tried. Being the keen observer that he is, /u/J33pGuy13 noticed that I did not mention The Traditionalist in my write-up. Because the "enabler" gene runs strong in him, and sensing FOMO weakness in me, he suggested that I try it. Naturally, I bought a tub because, like many, I enjoy sandalwood scents. And, as he predicted, I love this one too. I have definitely been looking forward to today's shave.
As to the challenge. I don't keep track of points for myself and definitely don't bother keeping track of points for others. And, unlike last year, I have not read all of the comments each day. This is my loss because what I have read this year has just blown me away. The commitment that some of you take to these games is astounding. I'm not going to categorize by contest (I'll let the djudges do their thing), but I have been impressed by so many of the contestants this year. In no particular order, and from memory, I'm going to tag the following folks just to express my appreciation for their "game":
- /u/Priusaurus - the interview idea was brilliant
- /u/Onionmiasma
- /u/mrtangerinesky
- /u/ginopono
- /u/chronnoisseur42O
- /u/RedMosquitoMM
- /u/hairykopite
I'm sure I've left someone out. My fault. It's kind of a low effort comment.
Two notables, though ...
To /u/alg82, today I shaved with Zingari Man The Traditionalist. I used my Simpsons Chubby 2 brush, and an EldrormR Industries MM24. I followed up with Zingari Man The Traditionalist aftershave, and some Thayers Cucumber Toner.
I have enjoyed these non-conforming comments a lot. I chuckle every time.
And if there were an award for most surface area covered in the games that absolutely needs to go to /u/Newtothethis. Gutsiest move I ever saw shaving legs and armpits for the Lather Games. Total respect from me, plus(!) you know how to say Jaaaaaag!
And finally, to /u/Enndeegee ... Scrub
