June 6, 2024 – Lather Games: Day 6

  • Brush: Shavemac w/ AP Shave Co 26mm Pure Bliss™ SHD Premium Synthetic Knot
  • Razor: Blackland Osprey #ADJUSTABLE
  • Blade: Astra SP (Green)
  • Lather: Wholly Kaw – La Fougère Parfaite
  • Post Shave: Pinaud – Clubman

Wholly Kaw Iced Tea has a lemony iced tea scent to me. Not sure why, but I also seem to smell pepper, but my nose sucks. It’s a pleasant smelling soap, although I’m not sure I’d want to smell like it all day. The shave itself was great; Wholly Kaw’s Siero base is quite good. As a side not, it never dawned on me until recently that the “Iced” part of the name also hints at the synthetic menthol that’s mixed in.

Pinaud Clubman is a classic aftershave for me, and brings back memories of the barbershop I got my hair cut at as a kid. Not sure it matches the soap, but hey, it really doesn’t matter to me.

Today’s Challenge: I’m not sure anyone will eclipse u/VisceralWatch, but I do like watching Kevy Shaves. I watched some videos of his when I first started to wet shave, and for some reason I just found them easy to watch. Maybe, it’s because he seems so happy when he’s shaving.
