June 24, 2024 – Christmas in July, but in June's Eve

  • Brush: Semogue 2000
  • Razor: Blackland - Blackbird Lite
  • Blade: Personna Lab Blue (2)
  • Lather: Summer Break Soaps – Remote Learning
  • Post Shave: Summer Break Soaps – Remote Learning splash
  • Fragrance: Summer Break Soaps – Remote Learning EDP
  • The Lather: Summer Break Soaps produces a fantastic lather. It’s easy to produce that picture perfect creamy lather in record time even with a soap from 2021. The scent, however, is a mixed bag for me. It takes me back to childhood and touring the Frito Lay plant as it smells identical to fresh chips. Unfortunately, for an Old Spice dupe, I think it really misses the mark.
  • The Shave: The nostalgia of smelling chips hot off the line combined with an awesome lather made todays shave a breeze.
  • Aftershave/Frag: Mountain Dew as an aftershave. Well I never liked Mountain Dew, but here I am smelling like it after a nice shave. The Pièce de resistance of today’s shave had to be the Remote Learning EDP. I mean who doesn’t want to smell of cheese on top of Mountain Dew. I feel and smell like I just left a 90’s LAN party.
  • Theme: I have in my possession the most PIF’d tub in existence. It came into the sub when u/rocketk455 first PIF’d this tub 3 years ago to u/iampermabanned as part of an April Fools PIF. It then was PIF’d to u/TheRealSheikYerbouti when he had decided to be rid of it. The next PIF went to u/chronnoisseur42O who likewise PIF’d it to u/2SaintsDude via Lather Cat. 2SaintsDude in his excitement also bought a set at that same time from the recent release for god knows what reason. As he and I are good friends, he thought it would be good idea to give me a set since I didn’t have one. He was also kind enough to pass along the frag that he got with his purchased set. Long story short, this trifecta was a ~~curse~~ gift bestowed on me by a fellow lather games contestant (2SaintsDude).
  • Challenge: All things considered I would really like to see a Spearhead Shaving sub exclusive soap. I have smelled almost all of the Spearhead offerings, and have yet to find one that isn’t good. Moreover, u/Ironbeard_SYS engages with the sub and generally seems like a good guy. Who better to score our next fix from.
  • Acknowledgment: Thank you 2SaintsDude for the chance to smell like Doritos and Mountain Dew today.
