    Juneteenth

    • Prep: 3 mile run and a cold shower
    • Brush: Moar Boar
    • Razor: Ever Ready Micromatic v2
    • Blade: GEM PTFE (3)
    • Lather: Chicago Grooming Co - AG 1889
    • Post Shave: Chicago Grooming Co - AG 1889

    Vacation was great. Of course LatherBot went offline while I was gone. But it's back now.

    I'm sorry about the extra "Thursday" in all the LG post titles. It was a copy paste error and now Reddit won't let me edit the scheduled posts, so I can't take it out. I submitted a bug report. We'll see if they fix it.

    Had a great head shave this morning with Vida's tribute to Jicky: AG 1889. I'd write more, but I don't want to accidentally win any prizes. Happy Lather Games, y'all!

    Wildcard, you cowards!

    • Prep: Warm shower
    • Brush: Dogclaration 22mm B5 Kashyyyk
    • Razor: Wolfman WR2 0.95mm
    • Blade: Bic Chrome Platinum (2)
    • Lather: Chiseled Face - Orange Creamsicle
    • Post: Stirling Soap Co - Tangerine - Splash

    It's a hard to swallow pill, but it needs to be said: Wildcard Wednesday is the most cowardly day on the Lather Games calendar.

    I know it's all the rage to celebrate the outlandish things people find to lubricate their mugs for today's shave, but all I see are a bunch of lily-livered scaredy cats.

    You shaved with motor oil? Coward.

    You shaved with peanut butter? Coward.

    You shaved with dog slobber that you've been collecting in a jar for the last 6 months? Low down dirty dog coward.

    On Wildcard Wednesday we see the lengths some people will go to to avoid even the possibility of losing a fraction of a point off their precious Lather Games score and I name that cowardice. The brave shavers are the ones showing up here shaving with easy-to-get scents from popular brands. Real shavers see Wildcard Wednesday on the calendar and reach for their everybody-has-it Barrister and Mann or Stirling. Real shavers dare someone to beat them to the punch.

    So what's it gonna be folks? Are you gonna step up on Wildcard Wednesday and lather up your Chiseled Face or are you going to be a little punk and hide behind that hyper-local ranch dressing you got at the farmer's market last week that you're certain nobody else on the sub even owns?

    Podcast Candidate: An Anonymous Djudge remarked:

    User calls anyone not using a super popular BaM or Stirling scent a coward. Uses obscure Chiseled Face soap.

    Let's Make It Two

    • Prep: Shower
    • Brush: Declaration Grooming B11 Jefferson Lake Pelham
    • Razor: Wolfman WR2
    • Blade: BIC Chrome Platinum
    • Lather: Australian Private Reserve - Passione
    • Post: Australian Private Reserve - Passione - Splash

    I'm a resident of the USA. Today's soap and splash came from Australia. The brush is from the USA. The razor is from Canada. The blades are French.

    I have now posted 2 on-theme shaves for this year's LG, which isn't bad considering how messy this month has been. I had a couple of other days where I had on-theme shaves but failed to post. Oh well. Maybe I'll do better next year.
