It wouldn’t be a Lather Games if, at some point, someone didn’t utter the phrase, “God dammit, SpongeBob!” so I’ll go first and start the games off right?
Six weeks ago, I thought, “what a novel idea? Shave with something I’ve never shaved with before! Six weeks later I wish I had that layer of skin I just took off. I am an organ donor, but please don’t take my skin with a Rolls Razor. Wait. You can’t. I already did it.
On to happier thoughts.
I did bust the cherry of a 70-year old brush today and something didn’t seem quite right about that either. I mean here is a pristine den queen brush that should go in a museum. So let’s use if for an Internet shaving competition for hashtags! And while we’re at it, let’s lather it up with some fabled soap that we’ll never see again.
Points matter:
Though Hallward’s Dream was more like a nightmare this morning, it is a nice barbershop scent similar to, but not like the others. Thanks to u/Engineered_Shave for sharing this sample with me.
Keeping the fragrant theme going, I finished off with Stirling Barbershop and a spritz of B+M Seville.
So, it’s the 2023 Lather Games! Run along, people! There’s nothing more to see here but Internet randos shaving like idiots.
