    • Brush: Chisel and Hound Bangalore V20
    • Razor: Gillette Superspeed
    • Blade: 7 O’Clock – Sharpedge (Yellow) (4)
    • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. – Varen
    • Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. – Varen
    • Fragrance: Stirling Soap Co. – Varen

    Was chatting with u/AdWorried2804 yesterday about how great Varen was and realized I haven’t actually used the soap in “a while” then I opened it and realized… I never actually used it. See I bought the balm on closeout and loved it. Grabbed a soap sample just to be sure, smelled it, said “yes” then asked for it for the Christmas exchange. My Santa (who is still a mystery) got it for me and I…put it away. I kept using the balm, even got a 5ml of the frag but just didn’t use the soap. I have fixed that. I will use it more. Moos and Varen are highly complementary, but also different. I love them both.

    Please help me learn u/djundila’s awesome portal buy using the tag #PracticeMMarch24 for the next couple of days in your SOTDs. It will let me prep ticking off the usage so I can make the final raffle easier. 3 Cheers for u/djundila for the portal which not only saved Lather Games but also has been useful for AA and other oddball challenges (like MMarch24).

    The ring of death is growing much faster than I'd have thought. This tub might be done rather sooner than later.

    I haven't run any challenge on the portal since Austere August. Just to make sure nothing broke before u/tsrblke's MMarch24 I'm running the test portal to pick up on #PracticeMMarch24. If you can spare a few characters in your SOTD and add a little #PracticeMMarch24 to help with testing, you're the 🐐.
