Lather Games Day 3- Almonday

• Prep: Hot Shower - Preshave
• Brush: Shore Shave 26mm Motherlode
• Razor: Razorock Gamechanger .84 #CNC
• Blade: Astra SP Green (2)
• Lather: Cella Milano - Crema da Barba Soap
• Post Shave: Proraso - Eucalyptus Oil and Menthol Splash
• Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Hygge Balm

Not going to lie. I've been dreading this day. Almond-scented shave products are not my favorite, typically, and I am once again stuck using Cella on this day due to the way my calendar shapes up. Cella has this propensity to overtighten the pores on my face and requires copious amounts of balm to return my facial structure to its usual state. Cella also smells like almond oil rolled in Silly Putty. And then there's the shave quality which can sometimes be lacking. But today, I had a shockingly good shave with Cella. Maybe it's because the Motherlode knot holds so much water and really hydrated the shit out of the lather. Maybe it's because the Shaving Gods were smiling down upon me and they wanted me to have a successful Almonday. Who knows but the shave actually didn't suck. I still needed some balm, but not half a bottle.

As to our man u/RedMosquitoMM, I raise my coffee mug to a man who not only has excellent taste in shaving gear, but excellent taste in coffee. I raise my coffee mug to a man who has excellent taste in music while his username reminds me of an excellent Pearl Jam Song of the same name. And finally, I raise my coffee mug to a man who, like me, can extol the virtues of Talent Soap Factory. So here's to u/RedMosquitoMM . May you have an excellent Almonday and a successful Lather Games.
