June 2, 2024 – Ahoy, Lather Games!
- Brush: Chisel and Hound – Desert Ranger 26mm #COMPOSITE #SHD
- Razor: Blackland - Blackbird Lite #CNC
- Blade: Personna Lab Blue (1)
- Lather: The Holy Black - Galleon
- Post Shave: HAGS – Megalodon Splash
- Fragrance: HAGS – Megalodon Rollerball EDP
- Music: Lionel Richie – Easy (Like Sunday Morning)
- The Lather: Compared to yesterday, today was a breeze. The Holy Black base is easy to whip up a nice lather and the scent on this is really phenomenal.
- The Shave: This being one of my go to setups the shave was just like the music implied, easy.
- Aftershave/Frag: Today’s theme was nautical in theme or branding so I decided to mix things up and instead of using all one scent add in some Megalodon. If you haven’t seen The Meg or otherwise don’t know what the hell a megalodon is, megalodon’s are giant sharks that went extinct 2.5 million years ago. Just the kind of thing sailors on a galleon feared, but never really encountered.
- Theme: As far as hitting the branding of nautical, it’s hard to being named and scented like a boat. The original release included a treasure hunt with a Piece of Eight, but alas I was only able to get the secret stash release.
- Challenge: In honor of u/Priusaurus I decided I would try to do a Lather Games day as close to one of his as I could. Before I could start, however, I needed to get a better idea of what a Priusaurus was like if I was going to nail the character acting. So I decided to consult AI to help give me a visual of what a Priusarus shaving might look like so I could get more into character. I imagine the early days he may have looked something like this, holding a razor belonging to his father. Now a days he’s probably looking more adult though and who knows, maybe the future he will be a little different. With the character visualized I picked a day, Day 2 of LG 2023 obviously, and set to work. It began with me smuggling in a box of Fruit Loops into the house undetected (my wife is into nutrition). In the morning I poured myself a cup and went to work recreating his SotD picture as accurately as I could (we only have white dishes) while still staying within the day’s theme. I had to work quickly and quietly lest my boys or wife wake up and discover my shenanigans. Let me suffice to say i was not successful in that endeavor and when she woke up and came down I did not get the same LG support #CagedPeacock. After surviving the wife’s wrath I retreated to the bathroom, put on the Lionel Richie, and removed some whiskers.
