Bonjour, Lather Games!

  • Brush: Zenith — 506 N XS (extra soft horse) #HORSESASS #OLDWORLD
  • Razor: Dovo — Shavette
  • Blade: Dovo — Professional Shavette
  • Lather: A A Shaving – Wapiti
  • Aftershave: Declaration Grooming — Bangarang
  • Fragrance: Declaration Grooming — Bangarang

Boom! Lather Games are back! Who will go above and beyond this time? Will there be intercontinental feuds again? Who will follow u/cowzilla3 and u/MrTangerineSky path and cause new legislation?

The Wapiti smush was provided by the very generous u/OnionMiasma. This was the first time trying this base (and brand), but I got a nice, creamy lather nonetheless. Really easy to use base, this.

The scent aquatic, sweet-woodsy scent reminded me of Bangarang, and both scents are supposed to evoke wet forests. A nice pairing.

The Dovo Shavette with professional blades has been approved by u/USS-SpongeBob for New all the Things! in accordance with the seasoned veteran clause. The shavette does not spark joy and feels flimsy and cheap compared to my Weck-style shavettes. In in the spirit of the challenge, I also used a new brush. The extra-soft Zenith horse hair brush did well with this soap, and it has very little horse funk. The knot is pillowy soft ad the bristles have so little bending stiffness that they completely stick together just by capillary forces. Very pleasant!
