July 1, 2023 – Bonjour Lather Games

• Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts Declaration Grooming B16 #SHD
• Razor: Blackland Blackbird Lite #CNC
• Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
• Lather: Wholly Kaw – Rebelle
• Post Shave: House of Mammoth – Shire 2

Shorter with higher skill is better than longer with no skill. True in the bedroom (edit: or so I read*) and true of this years Lather Games writeups.

My goal was to not spend money on this years games so I don’t have any new type of hardware, but, Wholly Kaw was a new lather for me. I purchased some WK off a Facebook BST when I first started – Man from Mayfair and King of Oud – and both smelled so bad off the tub I was convinced the soap was rancid and I threw them directly in the trash; I felt like if I tried to sell them a more veteran shaver than me would call me on it.

Rebelle, though, was a great scent. A nice warm and inviting tobacco smell that paired nicely with the brighter, more cheerful Shire 2. I typically don’t like tobacco, but both of these were excellent – Rebelle would make a great cool weather shave while Shire 2 shines in Spring and Summer.

FOF Haiku of the day:

Linked by Tobacco

Thankful neither is rancid

Smoking will kill you

Edit: haiku looked weird. Hopefully it's fixed now.

Have a great Lather Games, y’all!
