2023-07-06 Lather Games SOTD

  • Brush: Semogue SOC Mistura (24x53mm Finest Badger / Boar Blend) #MISTURA
  • Razor: Feather Artist Club SS
  • Blade: Kai Captain Mild ProTouch MG (9)
  • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Seville
  • Post Shave: Absolutely Nothing
  • Fragrance: Barrister & Mann - Seville

Lest anybody wonder if I write the Theme Details to benefit myself by reflecting the contents of my own shave den, take note of today:

I. Own. Zero. Trickholes.

I have a few matched soap/aftershave sets and I have a bottle of Seville EdT to go with my soap, but full 3-piece sets? Nope. Thus I had to make a choice today to be on theme, which states that "Lather and all post-shave products (including perfume) must be scented by the same artisan with the same scent," but doesn't specify how many scented products you have to use (because I know that many players don't bother with perfume, and some players like to go wild with how many scented products they incorporate into their shaves).

Do I use a matching soap and aftershave and go without perfume, thus making all my fragranced products match but throwing away the opportunity for a 30-fragrance bonus point in a competition where judges traditionally aren't even in the running for prizes, or do I use my matching Seville soap and EdT and let my face suffer without a post-shave product so I can chase the prestige of thirty different fragrances this month? Either way, I also lose the "Relevant post AND fragrance" points...

Ahh fuck it, I'll let my face sting for a while. Excelsior ain't that bad.
