Share your shave of the day!

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.

Sweet Sunday

Brush: Zenith 506B MB (27 mm × 51 mm Manchurian badger)
Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur 14 (8/8", extra hollow ground, stainless steel) #STR8SNOB
Lather: Summer Break Soaps – Teacher’s Pet
Post Shave: Southern Witchcrafts – Pomona
Fragrance: Stirling Soap Co. – Sweet Stuff

Theme: Teacher's pet is red apple with brown sugar. It smells sweet and yummy and happy.

I'm sad it's been discontinued, but luckily Braeburn scratches the same itch.

Relevant post and frag: Pomona is another sweet apple scent, and finally Sweet Stuff is here to dial the sweetness to 11.

Challenge: This was the perfect opportunity to try my new-to-me rubber lather catcher thingy that barbers use to wipe lather from the blade without running water. (My preferred kitchen shave spot is an the kitchen table, not the sink])
