Daily Gratitude
Thanks to tsrblke for the soap sample. Thanks to Nordstrom for the frag sample. Thanks to my mom for going on the hunt for the aftershave and fragrance. Thanks to my mom for getting me the starter kit that had this brush. Thanks to my mom for buying me this razor a very long time ago. Thanks to my mom for recording me and supporting me through these crazy games. Thanks to anyone who watches the whole vid. Thanks to anyone that mentioned me in their predictions of ROTY yesterday! Thanks to the judges and fabulous people for putting this whole thing together.
Daily Mistakes
I should have done more planning on where we had to go so my mom wouldn't drive so much. I also forgot to tell her to record landscape so enjoy the OG day one portrait style. I also forgot to get the photo contest cactus while we were out.
Daily Writeup
Welp, this is my last post of the month and therefore the last post of the Lather Games 2024. It's bittersweet and I am probably making too much of a deal but I'm just an emotional person okay! The bitter part is I will miss the games but the sweet part is I will finally be able to use all my own stuff! And I can use soaps from full tubs!!! I no longer need to load from parchment paper. As I said in the video, as of now I don't think I will shave daily in August because of band camp lol. Now for once I will actually talk about the shave itself, yesterday I returned to my straight razors for the first time in a while and today's shave is a lot better than yesterday's shave because I had a bit more experience from yesterday, still a lot to work on but today was a much closer shave with less irritation. Today I sold the Friodur because I dont shave with straight razors enough to warrant having 2 straights. I'm excited for tomorrow's shave, I think I'll use roman spice or something.

Photo Contest
I forgot about getting the cactus when we were out and about so I had to scooter over to the local trader joe's to grab this cactus trio just for the photo.
TL;DR
