It's that day of the week again! Share your shave of the day!

If you're playing along with the Lather Games on that other website, the theme today is "April Showers Bring May Flowers".

Product must be:
     - Explicitly marketed as a Spring scent OR
     - Explicitly marketed for a holiday occuring between Vernal Equinox and Summer Solstice OR
     - Prominently feature floral, grassy, or petrichor accords.
Caveat: Products explicitly marketed for multiple seasons or other seasons do not count (eg. ""summery lilac"").

* **Brush:** Maggard 24mm Synthetic
* **Razor:** Gillette Tech (Z-4)
* **Blade:** Bolzano Superinox (German) (3)
* **Lather:** [Barrister & Mann - Diamond - Soap](https://imgur.com/4UPwu2e)
* **Post Shave:** Barrister & Mann - Petrichor - Aftershave

With scent notes of freshly cut grass, stadium soil, beer, leather, pine, cedar, popcorn, and caramel to conjure the unforgettable experience of attending a big league game, (freshly cut grass being listed first), this scent is decidedly on-theme.

Petrichor aftershave is meant to smell like the dirt of New England. You can't have baseball, grass, beer, leather, pine, cedar, popcorn, or anything else for that matter -- without dirt. So that makes it a related scent.
