SOTD by u/oswald_heist

July 11th 2023 - Lather Games Day 11

• Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts w/ B9A
• Razor: GEM Featherweight
• Blade: GEM PTFE (6)
• Lather: Spearhead - Sea Spice Lime
• Post Shave: Spearhead - Sea Spice Lime
• Fragrance: Spearhead - Sea Spice Lime

Summer Scents day, aka Sea Spice Lime day. I think the judges know that today is for Sea Spice Lime, because the theme description for today reads:

Product must be: - Explicitly marketed as a Summer scent OR - Explicitly marketed for a holiday occuring between Summer Solstice and Autumnal Equinox OR - Prominently feature aquatic or citrus accords.

And it’s the last part I would like to draw your attention to. See, on Spearhead’s site, the product page for Sea Spice Lime doesn’t mention summer or any summer holiday. The judges know this, and so they carved out an exception to the summer theme rules which allows the two things in Sea Spice Lime’s name, aquatic Sea Spice and citrusy Lime. Using this unbeatable logic, it’s clear the judges are saying, sure, summer scents are OK, but we really strongly encourage the use of Sea Spice Lime, so much so that we are bending the rules to allow it. Sea Spice Lime. Sea Spice Lime.

My SOTD is arranged around the color white. Brush handle, razor handle and soap labeling all prominently feature white. Sure, a pedantic physicist may argue that white is not a color, since it does not exist on the visible spectrum of light waves that scientifically define a color, but neither does pink and we all recognize that as a color because human eyes are able to process it. I also like that my picture is like an inverse of u/Tetriside’s.
