u/loudmusicboy's SOTDs for challenge 'test Lather Games 2024'

• Brush: AP Shave Co Deep Blue 26mm G5C
• Razor: Karve Brass CB SB-C
• Blade: Rapira Platinum Lux (13)
• Lather: Declaration Grooming - Yuzu/Rose/Patchouli
• Post Shave: Stirling - Baker Street Splash
• Post Shave: Zingari Man - Unscented AS balm

Time to get off the Green Tea train for the rest of the week and use some things I haven't used in a bit before our Shaving Overlords dictate our daily lives for the month of June. I was torn between a Bay Rum soap and YRP, and YRP won out today. Such a great shave and not an ounce of feedback from the Baker Street splash. I'd say that's a good way to start the work week.

Coffee is a requirement to start any work day, or any day for that matter. Once that's done, it's time to figure out how to unf$%@ a project that got FUBAR and has just a wee bit of financial impact. No pressure on a Tuesday. Try to enjoy your day and remember to be kind to one another.

• Brush: Aurora Grooming LG24 w/26mm Oumo Synthetic
• Razor: Karve Brass CB SB-C
• Blade: Rapira Platinum Lux (14)
• Lather: Catie’s Bubbles - Waterlyptus
• Post Shave: Catie’s Bubbles - Waterlyptus Splash
• Post Shave: Zingari Man - Unscented AS balm

Thanks to u/TheBunnynator1001 for cranking out these brushes for LG. My "burple"-colored brush arrived yesterday so I figured I would give a test shave today. This knot has plenty of backbone but there's also enough splay for my brush-swirling-on-the-face needs. This will definitely be a good brush for both my face and bowl lathering needs for LG. And the brush got a test run with Waterlptyus. 'Tis the season for Waterlyptus (so friggin' good)!

Waterlyptus and coffee do not mesh well together, but this is the price one pays for a good shave. Try to enjoy your day and remember to be kind to one another.

• Blade: Rapira Platinum Lux (15)
• Lather: Stirling - Green
• Post Shave: Proraso - Menthol & Eucalyptus Splash
• Post Shave: Zingari Man - Unscented AS balm

I'm off theme because I don't ever want to smell like Stag or Gearhead or straight up Pennzoil. I shaved with much better scents today, at least to me and the wife. This shave was so friggin' good and then concluded with absolutely zero feedback from the Proraso. I've been using Proraso for 16 years, since I started this wetshaving thing, and I've never had the experience of feeling nothing but the cooling. There was no alcohol burn or tingle. Crazy good shave.

Crazy good coffee this morning which will be needed to get me through a day of vendor meetings. Try to enjoy your day and remember to be kind to one another.

• Post Shave: Noble Otter - Orbit Splash

It's our last day of true shaving freedom so I grabbed some things that won't be getting use during LG. My face is nice and chilly after another fantastic shave.

Coffee is the critical need and then it's time to tackle this Friday. Try to enjoy your day and remember to be kind to one another.
