This was my Austere August soap from last year and therefore is the closest one to a kill I have in my den. Still a few weeks' worth of shaves in it though, but a significant dent has been made. And I did manage to line today up with a kill of this bottle of Indigo splash, and the true wetshavers here know that finishing a splash is even harder than finishing a soap. The connection between my software today is that they are all scented by the same award-winning perfumer, and both scents have seen me through Austere Augusts.
What a contrast though, from yesterday's Stack Day, which is the finest of Lather Games challenges, to one of the worst, which is pasty lather day. I chose the MMOC today because it is my AA razor, but it was a poor choice today for my sad and dry lather. Still, I got through my three passes like a trooper.
