Lather Games Day 10- A Musical Shaving Interlude

• Brush: CaYuen 26mm Tuxedo
• Razor: Schick M1 Adjustable
• Blade: Schick - Injector (3)
• Lather: Barrister and Mann - Adagio Soap
• Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Alive Splash

When the LG calendar came out, my original thought was to use HoM Alive because every time I pull it out, the only song I can hear in my head is "Alive" from Pearl Jam. Plus, the way u/mammothben describes the inspiration for the scent makes me think that this song was playing in the background while he was doing the write up. But after rejiggering my calendar several times, HoM got pushed to a different day as I try nail 30 soap artisans in 30 days. As a result, I did a blind buy on a tub of Adagio because...MUSIC! The scent notes certainly sounded great, but when I got the tub and cracked it open, all I could smell was earthiness. I figured that maybe it opens up a bit when lathered...and it didn't. All I got this morning was more earthiness and none of the brighter notes mentioned in the description. Sigh. But, Alive came to the rescue in splash form and made me a much happier camper on this musically challenged day.

So, onto the daily challenge. I'm not an artist by any stretch of the imagination, but I recently took an "Art as Meditation" workshop from a friend of mine and started to look past my perceived lack of artistic ability and decided to just accept what ended up on the paper. I've got a pretty great and musically cheesy sketchpad book. This was made by another friend who makes them out of album covers. How could I not resist grabbing one with the Wham! cover. Ultimately, my vision of this soap's cover took shape and I'm happy with what I was able to sketch out here.

With today's Music theme. I have a lot of albums to choose from but the Cult's "Electric" just seemed to work for me this morning. It's such a bad ass album to represent a bad ass month here on the sub.
