June 2, 2024 – LG 2: Ahoy, Lather Games

• Brush: Chisel and Hound V8 #SHD #COMPOSITE
• Razor: Karve CB Brass #CNC
• Blade: Astra Green (9)
• Lather: Declaration Grooming – B Cubed
• Post Shave: Barrister and Mann – Spice
• Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! Spiced

Today we honor the great u/priusaurus. Today, he shaved with Karve, so I shaved with Karve, he used a CH brush, so I used a CH brush. He talked about the USS Constitution aka Old Ironsides, so I have to wake up and fly out fly from California to Boston to take a photo of Old Ironsides, and go below deck myself. Then, I fly home. Or maybe it was a few years ago, but imgur says today. Also, let’s shave outside today, which is rapidly becoming Prius’s MO, including yesterday and several last year. What better way to do it than using the mirror of a Prius. I’ll say pass 2 I opted for the window reflection, which was way easier than craning my neck and trying to take photos while shaving. Thankfully my across the street neighbors who were outside couldn’t see me too well and the kids on bikes didn’t seem to pay much notice to the weirdo shaving in his front yard. #PHOTOCONTEST A Prius (duh).

I don’t know how y’all find past LG links etc. with such ease, you sure as fuck must not be using Reddits search. So, I will just name a few of my favorite from last year: his ice bath, his 2nd ice bath, getting booted from the Thai restaurant, kids sprinkler toy, and of course the butt plug razor.

For todays theme and #FOF played it pretty safe. Went with B Cubed, the newer version of Blackberry Blossom Bay. A berry and blossom inspired Bay Rum for the “refined seafarer”. Of course we had to get some old spice dupe in here too, and what better than one of our sub’s favorite artisans in BM Spice, complete with boat on the bottle. Although Seaforth! Spiced is not actually a direct old spice dupe, it clearly pairs well. Also, it made it into u/cowzilla3’s great spice off, which is gospel in these parts. To quote the man himself “Basically, despite all those words I wrote above mocking people for suggesting it as an Old Spice dupe, it is, in fact, partly an homage to that very scent. You can see this in the scent list of the soap: Mandarin, Aldehydes, Carnation, Anise, Cinnamon, Clove, Cardamom, Benzoin, Tonka, and Vanilla. Every scent there aside from cardamom is also found in Old Spice as long as you count mandarin as an orange, which I think we can all agree smell exactly the same. (Watches perfumers get increasingly angry at my complete lack of actual knowledge).” I will say overall, I don’t think all the bay and slightly sweeter B Cubed actually paired to well with the modern play of vintage old spice accords, but the latter 2 compliment each other plenty well. I think 3 Scots actually would have tied the soap and splash together better, cest la vie.

Oh, and I wore my Noble Otter shirt because they are cool and today’s sponsor, as seen in one of the photos.
