6/6/24 Lather Games shave

  • Brush: AP Shave Co 2BED synth

  • Lather: Ethos Grooming - ShaveMD

  • Razor: Schick Krona w/ Suneko

  • Post Shave: Ethos Grooming - Shave MD AS

Not only is the performance and the scent on this soap/AS great, but I really like the story behind it. Frank at Ethos has always done some custom/one-off scents for good customers, and this is one that he did for a guy who was active on a couple of the shave forums (ShaveMD) that was meant to be inspired by ginger ale. Unfortunately ShaveMD passed away suddenly before getting to use it, so Frank decided to release it as a tribute soap and donate a portion of the proceeds to Ronald McDonald House. I love it when shave artisans do stuff like that, we all know that this stuff isn’t big business but it’s great when artisans still make it a priority to give back.

I don’t really follow YouTube shavers regularly nowadays, mostly it’s if I’m looking for info on a particular product is when I’ll search through if any videos are up about it. But I do tend to enjoy u/sgrdddy and Latherhog vids.
