Small Business Saturday: Day 7 of Lather Games
Theme justification: This trickhole is a batch of 1 and as such the smallest batch I own. The brush is a reknotted sub-exclusive MoarBoar, and as such a sub-exclusive MoarBadger of a batch of 1. The razor is one of a batch of 50 sub-exclusive Moarteens.
Challenge: I'm usually a face latherer, so I went with the bowl this time and promptly underestimated how much soap the MoarBadger eats. It's always fun to try to stick more soap to the bottom of a soapy wet lathering bowl 🥴
In the end, I did get a very passable bowl of lather, and a nice small Business Saturday shave, with products from 4 (5) small businesses: Chatillon Lux for the frag oil, Southern Witchcrafts for the soap, splash, and frag, Zenith for the brush handle, and Koraat for the razor. Finally, the badger knot was retailed by Maggard, but I don't know where it comes from.
