For those playing along with the Lather Games on the other website, today's theme is:

Sweet Sunday

Product must be a sugary sweet gourmand.  Products inspired by sweet, desserts, etc. are good candidates for this theme.

  • Brush: AP Shave Co. - 24mm 2Bed Synthetic #FAUXFUR
  • Razor: Wolfman Guerilla (Gen 1) #CNC
  • Blade: Bolzano Superinox (German) (11)
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Almond Creme - Soap
  • Post Shave: Old Spice - Hawkridge - Aftershave
  • Fragrance: Brut - EdT

Theme justification, from the Stirling website:

Scent Description

Delicious Marzipan is the second name for this soap. It really needs no other description, other than to say you might try to eat it. It tastes like soap, though. Don’t ask how I know…..For Men and Women.

I used the "#CNC" tag earlier in the games, but thanks to the portal I was able to realize that I effed it up and put it in the wrong place. So here's my second attempt at getting that scavenger hunt item.

For the "#FAUXFUR" tag, it will be up to the lovely judge to decide. The AP Shave Co. website doesn't have much in the way of marketing descriptions, but with the lower part of the bristles being light colored, then a band of darker color, then another band of light color -- it looks like it's imitating a badger knot. But, if it's deemed to not count, I'm ok with that.
