• Brush: DS Cosmetics Kensurfs ‘22 - 26mm G7 synthetic
• Razor: Karve - Overlander (Brass)
• Blade: Personna - Lab Blue (6)
• Lather: Wholly Kaw - DFS 2021
• Bowl: CaYuen - Dark Nebula, large
• Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Shave Balm, Embrace

Welcome to the twenty-seventh shave of the 2024 Lather Games. Today’s theme is Information Overload where the goal is to shave with a lather that has ten or more scent notes in its marketing.

I originally came by this soap in a PIF from u/whollykaw himself. I dug it at first but the more I used it the more my brain fixated on something I smell as an intense powdery note from the fragrance, and I don't like powdery notes. Not sure what it is exactly, but once smelled, couldn't unsmell it so the tub has been living as a donor tub helping to spread the knowledge of WK's Sego base in my own sample PIFs. Using it today because some last minute calendar shuffling left this as the only possible remaining spot to slot in an on-theme Wholly Kaw product.

There are eleven, count them, eleven notes in the marketing for WK's DFS 2021:

• 01 - Ginger
• 02 - Osmanthus
• 03 - Bergamot
• 04 - Lemon
• 05 - Lime
• 06 - Artemisia
• 07 - Tobacco
• 08 - Patchouli
• 09 - Guaiac Wood
• 10 - Vetiver
• 11 - Vanilla

The ginger and tobacco forms the backbone of the scent to my nose and I’d be hard pressed to pick out any individual fruit notes. Regardless, if you get past the “powder”, it’s a lightly spicy, warm scent with a lot going on.

The daily challenge is to shave with our non-dominant hand and that is why I chose the Overlander as without any data at all I determined this to be the better razor to use left-handed. It worked out very well - no nicks or irritation and shave is within acceptable parameters. It’s a bit awkward shaving without the muscle memory, but shaving is something my left hand can handle.

Enjoy your day, everyone!
