Lather Games Day 22- A Berry, Berry Good Shoulder Day

• Brush: Semogue 1800
• Razor: EldrormR Industries MM24
• Blade: Gem PTFE (2)
• Lather: Talent Soap Factory - Frankie Mermaid Soap
• Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Glacial Spearmint Splash

So I Googled "Is a grape a berry" and the first thing that came up was from some website called waynesword.net. According to this site I know nothing about- "Grape Family (Vitaceae) Grapes are one of the oldest cultivated plants. They are classified as true berries because the fruit wall or pericarp is fleshy all the way through. The cultivation of grapes dates back more than 5,000 years in Egypt, and they were highly developed by the Greeks and Romans." Alright, alright, alright, we're in the game today. No better grape-iness to use today than Frankie Mermaid. You get smacked in the face with grape soda right off the bat before the scent settles right down. And I'm not talking crappy-ass Sam's Club generic GRAPE SODA, I'm talking Fanta Grape. 100% classic. Maybe even NeHi quality grape soda. Regardless, this fucking rocks way more than your wine smelling soaps.

So, I had a shit ton of lather after doing the face and then had to decide what the hell was I going to shave. Now, being the hairy bastard I am, the options are pretty endless. Now, this challenge did call for leg day, but I'm already experiencing some weird hair loss around my calves that my wife is finding deeply disturbing. It's like islands of bare skin in a forest of hair. While shaving the lower legs might even things out, I'm going to look like I have some tropical hair losing disease. I could have done some side ass cheek and gotten that down nice and smooth, but do you really need to see the before and after of my hairy ass cheek? Fuck no. I don't even want to see it.

I figured it's been a bit since I cleaned up my shoulders and let my tattoos be released from their hairy prison. So here's the before and after of my left shoulder and here's the before and after of my right shoulder. And while I'm sure there is going to be some djudge out there decrying the lack of lather pictures, the missus was too close for comfort for me to be snapping pics of the shoulder lather (some things are better left unsaid in this house). So yes, today I shaved something that wasn't my face. Was it nearly as entertaining as u/hairykopite showing us that we clearly descended from primates? Absolutely not, but it gives me a shot at some teensy weensy point thing.
