Jun. 5, 2024 - Bowling it up

  • Prep: CeraVe - Hydrating Facial Cleanser

  • Lather Bowl: Lather Bowl

  • Brush: Aurora Grooming Mauricio 26mm Synthetic #FRANKENBRUSH

  • Razor: Schick “66” G4 #RAINBOW

  • Blade: Schick (9)

  • Lather: Gillette - Pure Cream

  • Post Shave: T.N. Dickinson’s - Witch Hazel

  • Fragrance: Imaginary Authors - Telegrama

This tube of cream has been my go to when I need a quick shave. I started my wetshaving career using this cream when I bought my 34c and used it exclusively for about 7 months. I then won a noob samplepalooza PIF from u/MrLamper1 and it’s all been downhill since then! I distinctly remember posting to the DQT asking about other things with the same scent. I was directed to TTS (RIP) and just opened the floodgates.

I still keep a tube of this one in my drawer for the stupid early shaves that I sometimes have to deal with. Ironically, today is the perfect day for it as I shaved at 0515 since I had to be at work at 0600 this morning!

Daily Challenge: So I did something a little crazy today. I typically face lather so I had to bowl lather today to complete the challenge. Yesterday u/Cowzilla3 mentioned someone should “Spray some out tonight, freeze it, lather it into a soap again in the morning in a bowl.” And I thought, what if instead, I froze my lather INTO a bowl and used that bowl to lather today?! Yes it’s a crazy thought, you can blame u/Cowzilla3 for his inspiration.

How to make a Lather Bowl in 4 easy steps:

1: Gather your supplies

2: Lather up a shit ton of soap

3: Load up your bowl mould

4: Freeze

And voila! You have a Lather Bowl!

Daily Theme Justification: I purchased this cream at the commissary on base.

Relevant Post Shave & Frag: I went all products that have a blue theme to their packaging! Rounded out with a blue brush and blue razor!

Disclosure: I did not pay money for this brush handle. I sent u/thebunnynator1001 some soaps and he sent me this brush handle.

Edit: brush tag added, this has a Paragon synthetic knot in it that I set myself.
