August 7, 2023 – It Has Been Remarked By Some That Hobbits’ Only Real Passion Is For Food. A Rather Unfair Observation, As We Have Also Developed A Keen Interest In the Shaving of Faces

I was going to hop right into a Great Spice Off review after the antics (non-Air Bud Realted, of course) of the Lather Games but I had an immediate work trip at the beginning of the month and, honestly, no desire to dive into something that required too much though. So I looked for a relaxing soap and picked out my tub of Shire, which I hadnt used yet.

Opening this up is pretty magical. Often, scents may be great but don’t exactly duplicate or create the person, place, or moment they’re tying to convey. This is not the fact for Shire, which, upon opening, instantly made me think of sitting outside a Hobbit hole smoking some pipeweed and watching the sun set. The tobacco mixed with the greenery and spices is what makes it work so well. It’s a group of scents that one might not think of complimentary but, in the real (or fantasy) world, play together all the time. I had grand illusions of writing a full review in the style of Tolkein but realized quite quickly that my mind was not in the correct place and even if it was I wasn’t a good enough writer.

This is, also my first time ever using House of Mammoth soap, which seems outlandish but given the fact that u/mammothben doesn’t make an Old Spice dupe is perfectly plausible. What an absolutely stunning lather. The kind of lather that is walking down the street and is offered a job as a lather model by some famous phtographer. Easy to kick up and just super shiny and messy and wonderful. The shave ain’t half bad either once dialed and by the third shave I had a wonderful slickness to go along with the wonderful look.

I was thinking I’d give the Hobbit movies a rewatch again after a shave with this but they’re such a mess I may just stick to LOTR.
