While today may be Cream Day, for me, it’s Lime Day! Limes in the soap. Limes in the Splash. And, you guessed it, limes in the fragrance!

I imagine myself waking up in a hammock strung between two palm trees. The sun high in the sky, the waves are gently crashing, and there's a refreshing breeze carrying the tangy scent of lime my way.

I start my shave with Taconic’s Tequila Lime Cream. As soon as I crack open the sample, it’s like a fiesta in a tiny jar! The zesty lime hits first, bright and invigorating, followed by a smooth tequila undertone. It's like drinking a margarita on the beach - without the hangover! I’m dreaming of my island paradise with each stroke of the razor.

Apex Alchemy’s Gren River splash is simply lime. Goes great with the soap as it is a burst of limey zest. It’s like I told the bartender I needed more limes in my margarita and he squeezed a fresh one out onto my face. It made my skin feel refreshed and invigorated.

To cap of my day of lime, used Spearhead Shaving’s Sea Spice Lime. A few spritzes, and I feel like the mist of the sea hit my body as I’m still laying on that hammock with my (now empty) margarita. Sea Spice Lime is the perfect finale—a blend of oceanic freshness with that irresistible zing of lime. It's crisp, clean, and undeniably captivating. As the fragrance settles, I feel refreshed, energized, and ready to conquer the world—or at least, the day ahead. This trio of products has worked together in perfect harmony, transforming my morning routine into a mini-vacation. Today's shave was more than just grooming; it was an experience—a tropical getaway wrapped in a refreshing, lime-infused embrace.

Challenge: My den is nothing compared to the likes of everyone else here. I’m still new to the hobby and learning my way around here. I only have 3 brushes and a couple razors I keep in my top bathroom drawer. Then I have a small collection of soaps in the drawer below that. A lot of these were actually given to me by my brother in law, who is big into wetshaving and pushed me over the edge to trying artisanal products. He’s also loaned me a bunch of razors/soaps/fragrances to use for Lather Games too. He got me set up pretty good with everything except for brushes. He won’t share his brushes.
