As we start our “Venture” into this month of the Lather Games is there any better way than going all out on new things? Well I for one could’ve picked a better choice for my brush. Got this Dreadnought brush purely for shiggles since I paid all of $3.75 for it. Well I think I might have overpaid for it…to start out with it was advertised as being 40mm diameter by 50mm loft. Despite the handle being advertised as 30mm (yes that math DEFINITELY checks out!) When it arrived it really showed its true colors as barely being 19mm x 45mm! Don’t worrry though because its “The Ultimate Shaving Brush for ReAl MeN!” Good thing I’m not a fake man otherwise this would be a huge disappointment! Let’s not talk about its performance, ok?
I’ve actually had a sample of Captain’s Choice soap since Christmas because it came free with the scuttle my wife got me but somehow I never got around to using it. I love how they definitely dance around the fact that its an Aventus dupe on their website! Oh well, I still am happy with my scuttle from them for when I bowl lather. They support great things and it’s a pretty nice scuttle.
First time using an injector razor today and I didn’t have a great go at it. Obviously the first time you pick up a razor it isn’t going to click immediately but I wasn’t impressed. I’m glad I’m borrowing this razor and didn’t pay money for it, at least initially. I am borrowing this from my Father-in-law who I got into wetshaving. He only shaves his neck and this seems to work out well for him! He hasn’t fallen into the rabbit hole that this hobby is, he has all of three soaps and goes back and forth between this razor, a 34c and his carts. This will go back to him next week when we visit.
