Happy first day of Lather Games everyone! This is my third Games and I’m excited to see what madness ensues this year. Big prayer hands emojis to the sponsors and judges this year for making it all possible. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼.
Onto the shave: Tabac! I got a sample of this with a PIF from u/Ramjet615, proceeded to forget about it for some months, then when I found it I figured I would just save it for Lather Games. So thanks Ram! I scooped a chunk into my bowl and attacked with my brush. I got a pretty voluminous lather in no time. I get the “grandma’s purse” comparison from the scent but the somewhat dusty leather and vague florals work for me. But the soap was slick and though a fresh blade in Sheraton can be rough sometimes the Tabac felt very protective. I definitely get why this stuff has such a dedicated following.
To connect the post shave and fragrance I picked, as I’m sure a lot of us do I get synesthesia with scents sometimes and Tabac and King of Bourbon both fall easily into the “brown” scent grouping. And so does Memoirs of a Trespasser, with its woody vanilla notes playing nicely with the vanilla from King of Bourbon.
