It’s the final day! Somehow this month has both flown by and dragged on! I definitely feel like I understood The Lather Games more this year than last and I tried to step up my game this year. I did the best I could and still had a blast. Daily posting can be a lot, but it was fun and I understand more of this hobby this year than I did last. A sincere thank you to everyone that worked hard and dedicated time to this crazy month for the enjoyment of the players.

Proraso Blue – Officially called Aloe & Vitamin E - isn't just about the soothing aloe and vitamin E; there's a hidden layer that adds a sophisticated twist to the experience. As the creamy lather envelops your face, subtle notes of amber and musk begin to unfold. The amber introduces a warm, resinous depth, reminiscent of a sun-drenched forest floor. It adds a comforting richness that complements the refreshing top notes. Then, the musk kicks in, weaving an earthy, slightly sweet aroma that lingers delicately on the skin. This scent combination creates really nice experience, where the initial freshness evolves into a more complex fragrance than I ever expected. Post-shave, the Master Soap Creations Tabacchi splash continues with a bold, woody transition away from the amber of the soap. This splash adds a touch of rugged masculinity, grounding the earlier freshness with a deep, aromatic embrace. It’s a perfect juxtaposition, that actually works really well together. To finish, a couple sprays of Diesel’s Only the Brave Street. It’s woody, like the splash, but has a nice freshness to it that hearkens back to the soap. The fragrance opens with a crisp burst of basil and apple, delivering an immediate sense of freshness that’s invigorating and bold. As it settles, the woody heart of cedar and vetiver emerges, grounding the initial brightness with a rich, earthy depth. This harmonious interplay between fresh and woody elements creates a scent that is both revitalizing and enduring, perfect for this final shave of the Lather Games. #FOF
Great fun in The Lather Games and already looking forward to next year, as well as maybe even doing Austere August this year!
iamhonestlylying’s Daily Top 5:
In honor of “Bon Voyage, Lather Games!”… My Top 5 most fun sounding ways to say goodbye in languages other than English:
5.) Polish: Do widzenia - Do what now?
4.)Italian: Arrivederci - Italian just hits different.
3.)Spanish: Hasta la vista - Thank Arnold for making this more than just a way to say goodbye.
2.) Japanese: Sayonara - Am the only one who thinks of" Speedy Gonzales saying "Sayonara Suckers" before he speeds off?
1.) Hawaiian: Aloha - Both hello and goodbye is the most poetic way to end this little series. Because while this is goodbye to The 2024 Lather Games, but it's hello to just shaving to shave again. It's hello to complete shaving freedom! At least until August....
