6/15/24 - Near Death Experience * Brush: Semogue 2000 * Razor: Merkur - 34C #ZAMAC * Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (1) * Lather: Truefitt & Hill - 1805 * Post Shave: Taylor of Old Bond St. - Eton College splash * Fragrance: Hugo Boss - Hugo EDT

  • The Lather: Considering this is the death of this cream and there wasn’t much left it was quite easy to make a nice watery lather. Photographing the liquidity of the lather, however, seemed a little more difficult so here is it spread on my hand.

  • The Shave: Aside from the constant dripping of lather from my face and brush, the shave was ok. It wasn’t as well cushioned as it should have been, but that’s was to be expected.

  • Aftershave/Frag: Since this is near death day I opted to use my aftershave and frag that were also closest to death. The scent mismatch is slightly nauseating, but hopefully I’ll go nose blind to it soon enough.

  • Theme: Today I don’t weep for the inevitable end of the tub, I mourn its passing. Its watery death was not a fitting end to the countless number of shaves it gave me, but such are the Lather Games.

  • Challenge: Normally I like a nice thick Dairy Queen invertible lather. Today’s lather was definitely not like that.
