The Lather Games theme (from the other website) is:

Information Overload

"Product marketing must list at least 10 scent notes.
Note: remember that notes are scent descriptors used for marketing - not actual ingredient lists.
Caveat: fragrance dupes will count the number of notes listed in the dupe's marketing description - not the original product's description."

  • Brush: WSP Stubby 26mm Extra Dense HMW #SMOLL

  • Razor: Puma 89 #2 11/16 Full Hollow

  • Lather: PannaCrema - Nuàvia Nero - Soap

  • Post Shave: PannaCrema - Nuàvia Nera - Balm

  • Post Shave: Thayers - Lavender - Toner

  • Fragrance: Zaharoff - Evening Mystique - Eau de Parfum

  • Talc: Yardley Classic
     


The PannaCrema fragrances that I have tried have been amazingly fresh and clean, but complex. Here's what I mean. These are the fragrance notes of Nuàvia Nero:

The fragrance opens with top notes of mandarin orange, bergamot, black pepper, lavender, and cardamom.

Body notes are cinnamon, mugwort, sandalwood, jasmine, and patchouli.

Base notes are amber, tonka bean, vanilla, and white moss.

The fragrance blend is subtle and very refreshing. I have trouble picking out individual notes, but I like the overall scent very much.

More cat tricks with this razor today. This was another test shave, so no leftorium beyond the usual. (I normally use both hands to shave and have for many years.)

That's a big brush for the #SMOLL tag!

To qualify, the loft has to be 48mm or smaller. I measured the loft at exactly 48mm. However, the tag is more for my own record-keeping than anything else. I don't actually care about points. For me, LG challenges provide an interesting way to visit my collection of shaving hardware and software. If I had done this correctly, I would have taken a photo of the knot with my ruler next to it showing the distance above the handle. I want to participate in the LG to be part of the community but, mostly, it's all about the daily SOTD comments for me.

Shoot, I was confusing it with #RUNT. Just ignore me!
