July 5, 2023 – Lather games day 5 – AKA Shoppers Drug Mart smells weird
- Brush: Chisel & Hound Badger
- Razor: Blackland Blackbird #CNC
- Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (7)
- Lather: Nivea – Sensitive shaving gel
- Post Shave: Noble Otter – Orbit
It’s been a long time since I’ve used canned goop. To be honest it is quite easy to work with. Inferior to tubs of artisan soap, to be sure. The LG rules are the rules though, right? Overall it was a decent shave, especially with the Blackbird Ti which is just a fantastic razor. I felt a bit dumb using a nice badger brush to lather canned foam (gel) but it worked alright. The addition of Orbit AS took things to new heights (see what I just did there)?
I’m not sure where this Shoppers Spotify playlist comes from, but it sure has all the hits. Fun fact: in Québec it’s not called Shoppers Drug Mart, it’s called Pharmaprix just because Québec.
If I had to make my own scent – oakmoss, vetiver and cannabis essences are what I would put together to have a dark, resinous, dank, green smelling wonder. All of the soaps with cannabis of some kind in them that I have smelled so far just don’t seem to get it right, at least not what it should be in my mind. Terpenes are quite fascinating, and might translate to very interesting scent profiles. I’m not an alchemist soaper though, so who knows? And as emo-raymoonie might say: who cares, right?!
