July 4, 2023 – Lather Games: Day 4 (Happy 4th of July!)

Brush: Yaqi Synthetic

Razor: Karve Overlander

Blade: Gillette Nacet

Lather: Barrister and Mann – Diamond

Post Shave: Mennen – Skin Bracer

When I think of Spring, I think of fresh cut grass and dirt. I think of playing baseball with my dad and my brother. B&M Diamond brings back those memories, which always seem to bring a smile to my face. I know there are other scents that are intermingled, but grass and dirt are what I notice first and stand out the most.

Today I used 1 teaspoon of shave soap with three, 0.5 tablespoons of water. I lathered the soap about 40 times every time before adding each 0.5 tablespoon. This was, as I expected it to be, not an ideal shave. To me, measurements are a guide, not an absolute. All soaps are different, and honestly, every person’s ideal lather differs a bit. Just like food recipes, season it to taste (or something like that).
