  • Brush: AP Shave Co. Handcrafted Purple Snakeskin 26mm G5C
  • Razor: Gillette Red Tip
  • Blade: Astra SP (Green) (3)
  • Lather: Southern Witchcrafts – Samhain
  • Post Shave: Barrister and Mann – Lavanille
  • Fragrance: Chatillon Lux – Gratiot League Square

First time using Southern Witchcrafts. The performance of the base was great, the Samhain scent I can live without. I did my best to match the fall vibes with Lavanille and this frag. I’m already regretting the heavy scents with how hot it is outside,

First time using this kind of Gillette (the twist to open). I’m amazed how different it is from the NEW Long Comb I also own. Shave was very rough today, but I’ll blame that on a rosacea break out getting in the way of a razor I’m not used to.

This is my first lather games and I wanted to tie it into my favorite part of shaving, self-care. I am going to use this space every day to discuss something healthy that I do everyday this month. Summer break has definitely led to an uptick in my depressive tendencies, so far, and I have a whole month of external motivation to try and build some internal motivation. The goal is to reinforce to myself how strong it can be to build daily habits when trying to be a healthier person mentally and physically. So, here it is:

Healthy Activity of the Day: I did a 3 mile bike ride today! It took way too long, and made me way too tired but I’m happy I did it. I’m to the point in my weight loss where exercise is going to be required. So this month is my attempt to build the habit. If /u/merikus can become a daily shaver due to the Lather Games I can become a daily exerciser.
