Brush: Aurora Grooming LG24 w/26mm Oumo Synthetic #SUBBROOSH
Razor: EldrormR Industries MM24 #FLIPTOP #MODERNGEM
Blade: GEM PTFE (1)
Lather: AA Shaving - Wapiti
Post Shave: D.R. Harris - Marlborough Splash
Post Shave: Zingari Man - Unscented AS balm

Aaaaaannnnddd we're back to the craziest month on the calendar. The month where many of us are sneaking our cellphones into our bathrooms to provide proof of shave pics. It's a month where we are scraping every last bit of smooshes off of wax paper into our bowls like a crazy person. It's a month where (most) of our spouses wonder whether we lost our minds somewhere between May 31 and June 1. It's a month where some hearty souls will attempt feats of derring-do (ice kamisori anyone? How about a headstand shave?) and live to tell the tales. Lather Games 2024 is here. Let's Fucking Go.

A big thanks to u/OnionMiasma for his generosity and sending out a bunch of smooshes of AA Shaving's Wapiti. This is not a soaper I am familiar with, but I'm glad I got to try. The LG 2024 brush did a fine job of whipping that smoosh into a YouTube worthy lather (it was friggin' sexy and shiny) and the shave was top notch. There's some seriously awesome residual slickness and post shave feel with that soap base. The Marlborough definitely matched up well with the woody notes in Wapiti. I would definitely be down for trying another scent from these guys.

As to the new to me hardware? I've got nothing. There isn't much I haven't shaved with at least once and only appeals to my desire to avoid a visit with a plastic surgeon (Rolls Razors scare the crap out of me). So there's that.

We'll see how the first 10 days of this go as my sister-in-law is staying with us, which impedes my ability to hit some of the day-of sponsor points since much of the hardware is in the upstairs bathroom in the bedroom she is camped out in. So no AP Shave Co brush this morning.

Looking forward to everyone's competitive spirit this month. Try to enjoy your day and remember to be kind to one another.
