  • Lather: Highland Spring Soap Co. - Green Door
  • Brush: Maggard Timberwolf Synthetic 24mm
  • Razor: Blackland Era - SB1
  • Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock SharpEdge Yellow
  • Post Shave: Dr. Jon's Essentials Lemongrass and Geranium AS Tonic

This shave was sponsored by u/Walden He was generous enough to PIF the razor and he threw in this soap. I really wanted to use the soap, but I was saving it for today as I've never used Highland Spring before.

The lather was nice, not too thirsty, slick enough, and provided good cushion...it also didn't take too long to work it up. The scent is pretty stellar too. It's pretty earthy/woodsy, but well balanced. It's not heavy or light, it sits in the middle, which provides a pleasant non-polar experience.

I kinda messed up by pairing the soap with the splash as the splash is strong and kinda takes over everything. It all smells like lemongrass now and I won't be making that mistake in the future.

For those that wonder about the razor, it's very smooth. With the Level 1 safety bar, it's super mild and my shaves could be closer, but man...this is one comfortable razor. I think I'll see if Blackland has any level 3 components still lying around.

Well folks, happy to be playing in this with all of you and here's to the kickoff of another month of the shaving awesomeness that is the Lather Games!

Have a great day folks!
