Lather Games 2024 Day 1: Bonjour Lather Games!
Bonjour les rasiogoodfellas! J’adore les sandwichs et j’ai mangé un délicieux rosbif sur weck. Mais, passons au SOTD d’aujourd’hui!
Daily Challenge: New All The Things—Weck Hair Shaper
A very nice shave, if a bit unwieldy due to the slipperiness and possibly the light weight of the razor itself. Of the three styles of straight razors I have now tried, I might say the hair shaper has been the best. I think I want to try a Sextoblade next since the hair shaper felt a little small and light for my preference.
Use of Theme: AA Shaving – Wapiti
Thanks to u/OnionMiasma for sending me the smoosh of Wapiti and for being an all-around great guy. Brand new to me, I find the scent to be very nice, and I think a bit different than the usual woody scents I have tried. The base did well and gave ample slickness for the hair shaper blade to do its job.
Taking the woody theme from Wapiti, Eleven Cedar blends nicely as it soothes the skin and the nose with its warm, resinous accords. The fragrant finish of Mississippi Medicine rounds out the experience with a pungent green top note that softens to a smoky, sweet dry down that compliments the notes of Wapiti perfectly.
Have a great Lather Games, everyone!!
