July 15th 2023 - Lather Games Day 15

  • Brush: Boti handle w/ 24mm AP Shave G5C
  • Razor: GEM Micromatic Open Comb
  • Blade: GEM PTFE (8)
  • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Death
  • Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Cologne Russe
  • Fragrance: House of Mammoth - Rumble

Chypre day. Maybe you don’t know what a chypre is, but I sure as heck do ^if ^Will ^from ^Barrister ^describes ^a ^soap ^as ^such. So Death it was today, which hit way too close to home considering what I’ve been through this week, but at least I got through the shave without bursting into tears.

No major through lines or connectivity between the soap and post shave choices today; I went with Cologne Russe because I thought I had an aftershave sample of Le Grand Chypre but it turns out it was this instead. And Rumble because Rumble rules.

No time for a video but my favorite non HD wetshaving YouTuber is our very own u/sgrdddy, his videos helped me when I was first starting out and I trust his takes on gear and scents.
