• Prep: Shower
• Brush: Zenith 506U N #HORSESASS #OLDWORLD
• Razor: Durham Duplex #WECKONISTA
• Blade: Durham Duplex Hair Shaper Blades
• Lather: Australian Private Reserve - Fenchurch
• Post Shave: Myrsol - Formula C
• Fragrance: Dua - Plumlicious

It's good to be back, and with a new Lather Games, a New All The Things kickoff. First of all a couple of shoutouts to those that made this possible, u/enndeegee sent me a Durham Duplex completely unsolicited out of the kindness of his heart. The gesture was amazing, the shave itself was.... sub-par. It came with a proprietary hair shaper blade which I've never seen before, and it was... rough. It will be tough to find a new razor for next year as I think this was the last one on my bucket list.

Also the first time using a horse brush, and I must say, I really enjoyed it, it has decent backbone with some scritch, somewhere between a badger and a boar. Will definitely keep it in the rotation post LG.

And most importantly, onto the lather. Shoutout to u/infernalinternal for also sending me some unsolicited smushes out of the kindness of his heart. I haven't used APR before, and the scent was quite nice, sweet with notes of fruit to my nose. I was so sad to hear about what happened to the maker. The purpose of new things day is to expose us to new brands, and unfortunately this one is permanently unobtanium. I'm glad I got to try it and I wish everyone else good luck for the duration of the games in our month-long thunderdome style shaving competition.
