June 12, 2024 – CREAM

• Brush: Semogue 2000
• Razor: Blackland - Blackbird Lite
• Blade: Personna Lab Blue (1)
• Lather: Castle Forbes – Lavender Essential Oil Shaving Cream
• Post Shave: Barrister and Mann – Lavender Splash
• Fragrance: Barrister and Mann – Lavender Interrupted EDP
• Song: Wu-Tang Clan – C.R.E.A.M.

I’m not going to lie all I can think of today is Wu-Tang, however, in the interest of not getting DQ’d for offensive language or imagery I will refrain from an entirely Wu-Tang related write up.

• The Lather: Castle Forbes is by far my favorite shaving cream base. It lathers up easily and all of their scents are clean and easily identifiable. The lavender essential oil that I used today brings that beautiful calming scent and helps to provide a relaxing shave experience.
• The Shave: The shave was smooth and easy, not much else to say here.
• Aftershave/Frag: What goes well with Lavender? How about more lavender? I stacked the Barrister and Mann Lavender splash to increase that calming feel, but decided to push the scent profile to a little more masculine with the lavender interrupted.
• Theme: Castle and Forbes shaving cream was used for today’s lather.
• Challenge: My den is a bit of a mess right now with Lather Games in full swing, but here it is in all its glory.
