The Story: Today being the outdoors and sunny day that it was I decided to have a hike in my backyard. Now my backyard isn’t very big, but it does have a nice spot with fresh water and only one wall. I had my razor, soap, aftershave, and EDT with me but stupid me I forgot my bowl and brush. If there’s one thing lather games has taught me, its that you can lather with and on damn near anything.
- The Lather: Thankfully I always wear shoes and socks when I go hiking and since we all know how well a sock lathers from last year I figured I might as well see how well a shoe works for a bowl. So I slathered on plenty of soap and lathered up that Dammusi. As you can see the lather really never turned out great, but I couldn’t let that stop me.
- The Shave: Using the worst lather so far this year I scrubbed my face with my shoe lather coated sock and began my shave. Personally I don’t think the scent of dirt and asphalt from the shoe really lends itself to a nice shave, and the weak lather really didn’t make for a good shave. Now I smell like the bottom of a shoe on vacation, awesome.
- Aftershave/Frag: Dammusi splash needs no explanation, and the Den of Thieves was mixed in to enhance the citrusy scents and try and drown out the smell of shoe.
- Theme: Dammusi prominently displays both citrus and aquatic notes.
- Challenge: In honor of u/Old_Hiker I took only the necessary gear for the shave and went into the backyard for a shave in the open air. Also, Work Sucks. The End.
