Only 2 shaves remaining...
Today I shaved with what I have determined to be the absolute cheapest available lather product sold at Maggards. It is the Gillette brand regular shaving cream. Apparently this is the Maha jumbo offering with a whopping 33 percent extra for free! Lucky me… At 4.95 per 93 grams, it costs a wallet friendly 5 cents per gram. Cheaper than a Godrej puck at 6 cent per gram. (sold out at time of writing) Technically the Derby and Arko shave sticks would have been cheaper per gram, but they are both also sold out and I don't think I would buy any lather product in "stick" form. Smells like all the other crappy tube creams readily available from the store.
Went with the old spice classic aftershave because it was free to me, but is probably also very cheap when compared to artisan splashes I'm sure. So I think it fits the bill
The razor was a gift so although not particularly cheap it didn't cost me anything. I also only have 2 brushes and the Simpson classic is the cheaper of the 2.
I guess it feels good saving money. But to be honest I'd rather use all the great artisan software I have and support those who make it. Hopefully this tube of crap will last many lather games as it will surely be packed away until next games. Photographic evidence below.

Went with Barrister and Mann's Lavender Interrupted for the fragrance choice again because it was also free to me. I wore this one yesterday as well for lavender day and had the chance to meet up with Mr and Mrs. u/OnionMiasma for beers at my work. We were both wearing the same fragrance and apologized to each other for its strength, which I found pretty hilarious. To be honest though, I couldn't tell because I could only smell myself. It was wonderful to link up with another member of the sub and I really had a good time hanging. With the enjoyable evening u/tsrblke and family provided earlier this month, I'm 2 for 2 on meeting awesome people from the sub. Both were perfect gentleman and would love to meet up again sometime. Open invite to anyone in or traveling through Chicago, shoot me a message, well crush some beers!
Cheers and have an awesome day everyone!
