July 12, 2023 – Lather Games: Day 12

Brush: Yaqi Synthetic

Razor: Karve Overlander

Blade: Gillette Nacet

Lather: Catie’s Bubbles – Connecticut Shade

Post Shave: Catie’s Bubbles – Connecticut Shade

Connecticut Shade was one of the first soaps I bought when I started wet shaving. I had read about it on a some website that stated Catie’s Bubbles was a top tier brand. I was not disappointed. The lather was creamy and slick, and it smelled great. I still find it to be top tier, but now the competition is much fiercer.

Yo meet today’s challenge, I lathered the soap on my face instead of in a bowl. I also applied it with my left hand. The result was an under performing mess on my face. At first it wasn’t wet enough, but I added too much water to compensate. I then tried adding more soap, but this put me almost to square one. I finally said screw it, and just finished shaving. I’ve had better days shaving.
