LG Day 19- Juneteenth

• Brush: Omega Pro48
• Razor: EldrormR Industries MM24
• Blade: GEM PTFE (7)
• Lather: Wholly Kaw - Amber Bomba
• Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Z splash

It's Juneteenth here in the States. If you need a primer on what that means, our man u/Priusaurus did a fine job with the abridged version of the history (not to mention that his full post is just fucking amazing). And while this country has come a long way over the last 159 years, we still have work to do, especially in the face of what seems like an increasing number of folks who think that America was better when we could oppress everyone who wasn't white. Today, this song immediately came to mind. It still has relevance.

I also want to thank our esteemed judges for putting this day on the calendar. Your attention to the actual dates on the calendar is appreciated.

From the soap perspective, this shave was easy to figure out. Wholly Kaw is from New Jersey (thank you Google). This is the only soap of theirs I own because it's a banger of a scent. It's just not a summery scent and not quite the scent for day that will hit 90 here in Maine. But hey, these are the sacrifices we make for this month on the calendar. When it came to the splash, overthinking definitely came into play. My first choice was Lucky Tiger, who I thought were from New York. And then I hit the Googles to find out they were started in Missouri and are now in Wisonsin. Nope. Fumbling through the splashes, I grabbed Areffa's Kentucky Bourbon. Areffa, from Ukraine! Kentucky Bourbon...uh nope. Under normal circumstances my brain would have processed that out quickly. But this was my pre-coffee brain in action. Finally, I just settled on HoM Z. I skipped over the balm today since what I'm using is either from Missouri or Virginia.

As to the Daily Challenge, I don't typically get in on the whole meme thing, but since it's Lather Games, why the f*&% not

Try to enjoy your day and remember to be kind to one another.
