July 24, 2023 – Month of Lather Day 24

  • Brush: DS Cosmetics Carrot handle w/ 26mm 2-band Badger + Synthetic mixed knot
  • Razor: Rex Supply Co. Ambassador XL Adjustable
  • Blade: Gillette Platinum (2)
  • Preshave: Stirling Soap Co. – Unscented
  • Lather: Tallow + Steel - Shag
  • Post Shave: Zingari Man – Unscented Balm
  • Music: Sammy Hagar & the Waboritas - Shag

Daily Theme: I received today's smoosh of Shag from tsrblke as a selectee of his generous Hippy Dippy Piffy PIF. tsrblke's tub of Shag was originally part of Matt Hilton (120inna55)'s collection.

The Shave: The T+S based performed flawlessly and my technique was good enough for a BBS, but honestly today's shave results really don't matter. Matt passed before my time here, but everything I have read tells me that Matt was an upstanding member of the community. Today's shave reminded me to never take anything for granted.

The Challenge: My first tribute goes to u/tsrblke, not only for gifting me todays smoosh but also for being a genuinely good person. He can get a bit excitable, but it is because HE CARES. If everyone was like him the world would be better for it. My second tribute goes to the 2023 LG Staff for planning and orchestrating this year's Lather Games. Ignoring for a minute the ~~bullshit~~ nonsense I write in my posts, I really don't know how you all do it. I made it my goal to read every LG23 SOTD post and I can hardly keep up. Do any of you ever sleep? My final tribute is in memory of Matt. #ROTY
