Share your shave of the day!
If you’re playing the Lather Games on the other website, today’s theme is:
Frigid Friday
"Product must contain a cooling agent in its published ingredient list (e.g. menthol, menthyl methyl lactate, synthetic cooling agents).
Caveat: Adding an after-market cooling agent to a non-cooling product will not satisfy this theme."
Frigid Stacking Friday
We’ve arrived in Rome for a Friend’s Wedding yesterday evening. The temperatures are already brutally hot so it’s excellent timing for Frigid Friday.
Theme justification: Orbit has a healthy dose of the synthetic cooling agent W23.
Relevant post and frag: Terror has the same cooling agent, and Tabac Gravity is so close to Orbit in scent and marketing that I wonder whether M&R took “inspiration” from it. both have cool blue space-themed packaging and both are cool rose scents with fresh metallic notes.
I chose Italian hardware for this trip to blend in with the locals, with my trusty Lo Storto which simply cannot give a bad shave, and my brand new beautiful butterscotch badger. It’s both my first Zenith badger and my first Manchurian badger knot. The brush has a scrubby loft with a good backbone and a bit of scritch. My initial impression of this lovely brush is great, let’s see how it breaks in.
Challenge: Our friends are getting married in a bougie hotel that hands out Acqua di Parma products as their toiletry amenities. When I saw it, I knew that I had to incorporate them into the stack. In my eagerness, I overlooked half of them, so have an additional AdP mini stack.
On a side note, when I flipped through my stack pictures, I noticed a fun detail: in the background of the picture that ended up getting the nod, there is what I believe to be the first documented evidence of a free Roman Spice in its natural habitat. What a find!
Wow, bougie indeed!
