    June 1, 2024 * Preshave: Hot Shower
    Brush: Chisel and Hound "Anthracite" TurnNShave V8 Tip Knot
     Razor: Yates Precision Manufacturing 921-M
    Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (2)
     Lather: Martin de Candre Fougere
    Post Shave:* House of Mammoth Shire 2 Splash

    Welcome to the Lather Games! The tragic beauty of judging this year is that I cannot win and therefore I do not need to give it an A+ effort as I have toyed with. After all, if u/Priusaurus and u/OnionMiasma can finish top 2 then really anything is possible. Alas, maybe next year. Then again, this freedom from planning and trying so hard is, well, freeing.

    So - I did use a new to me soap today - MdC Fougere (I've never used any MdC) and it was quite nice. I see how u/EldrormR was able to use this stuff for several months in a row last year (though I don't really want to replicate that crazy feat) - if I had to, I could. It's got a gentle and pleasant fougere scent that's not at all overwhelming and fades really quickly making it easy to pair with whatever splash you want.

    I went with Shire 2 because it's kind of green and so it paired well enough.

    I did not use new hardware, but, I did use my new_est_ hardware, which doesn't count at all but see paragraph 1.

    I hope all you aiming for the top have months that do not tragically fall apart and that you do not "accidentally" post in the wrong thread and lose one days precious points, effectively eliminating yourself from the runnings for the top - looking at you u/tsrblke.

    Anyway. Have a good one.

    June 2, 2024 * Preshave: Hot Shower
    Brush: Chisel and Hound "Oyster's Gift" Fanchurian v19
     Razor: Razorock Hawk v3
    Blade: Schick Proline
    Lather: Declaration Grooming/Chatillon Lux Admiral
    Post Shave: Chatillon Lux Admiral Splash
     Post Shave: Chatillon Lux Admiral EDT

    Admiral is themed and named after a boat in St. Louis, says Hawns. Also the artwork is of a boat. Also my brush is named "Oysters Gift" which seems like a connection.

    Post shave and frag are connected in that they're literally the same. Because this scent is goated.

    Also u/Priusaurus shaved in front of a (more significant?) boat yesterday, so, cheers boat brother. And good job on last years win and a strong start to this year and all that. Kudos.

    June 4, 2024 * Preshave: Hot Shower
    Brush: AKA Brushworx (transplant) B5
     Razor: Yates Precision Manufacturing 921-M
    Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
    Lather: Stilring Scot's Pine Sheep
    Post Shave: Noble Otter The Night Before Splash
     Post Shave: Barrister and Mann Vespers EDT

    Scent notes: Pine You know what else smells like Pine? Christmas. At least if you're not one of those bums who uses a fake tree. So - The night before paired. As did Vespers.

    I don't miss any discontinued bases. So. RIP.
