Today's Theme: When I made my Lather Games Calendar, I asked the judges if B&M Le Grand Chypre would count as a spring scent. Fair enough, the product description does not explicitly state it is Spring scent or "prominently floral".

However, as I was mowing and listening to the Lather Games Recap today, they emphasized to read themes and challenges carefully, insinuating this month is a matter of semantics. Cool, I can play that game.

Well since B&M LGC does feature some floral notes and would work for today's challenge, I figured I would make LGC "prominently feature floral, grassy... accords. These beautiful flowers in my yard caught my eye and figured I would pick up some mowed grass while I was at it.

I took a shower, dried off, and started creating my "product", soap featuring floral and grassy accords. It lathered up beautifully and smelled exactly like what the judges are looking for. Even when I applied and shaved with the lather, it was a glorious experience. I'll take my points for hitting the theme today.

Todays Challenge: See my above SOTD photo. My Tom Ford fragrance beautifully matched the rest of my gear. I did not decant the fragrance because that would require pouring, not spraying, according to Merriam Webster.

Sponsor Highlight: Not much can be said about Yates Precision Manufacturing that I have not said already. I probably have the most shaves logged with Yates razors in the last 5 or 6 months here in r/wetshaving. Jake Yates is a stand up guy who knows how to design and manufacture an incredible razor.
