God that was good! Surprisingly good lather for a 45 year old soap, and the scent is still there, though weaker. I took extra time wallowing in the goodness of Old Spice, and I presume that u/cowzilla3 would deem this the minimum required time. I have used Shulton Old Spice aftershave for many years. My father used it as well, so it’s definitely a nostalgia-fest for me. No. 89 has been around forever too. Its scent blends well with Old Spice and it is also period-correct.
I took Paleontology Day literally and used a razor that has mammoth ivory scales. This relates more to the challenge than to u/Priusaurus.
However, I mostly participate in the Lather Games for the entertainment value of the SOTD comments, and Priusaurus’ comments are consistently entertaining, or interesting. He was deserving of the win last year and I’m following his pursuit of it again this year.

Ahoy, Lather Games!

I didn’t take any risks with the theme this time, and relevance of the post and fragrance are that they are spicy fragrances.
This day is really u/Cowzilla3 and TGSO appreciation day, but it was also a very welcome opportunity to use my Kraken brush and Böker boat razor.

Good shave today, and the Old Spice cream (a gift from u/Semaj3000 when we met in Oxford two years ago) creates a decent lather, but the scent is very different from the splash (sweeter, less cinnamon).
To honour our reigning champion, u/Priusaurus, I want to recall a few highlights of his stellar run last year. He automated lathering, seduced the djudges with his hot mating dance, fought Skynet, shaved on a sidewalk/restaurant terrace, shaved in a fucking ice bath, did it again (!) out of spite, developed an interesting witch hunting technique, shaved with a butt plug, and managed one of the most dignified sign-off shaves in lather games history. Truly an inspiration, and I can’t wait to see what our champion has in store this year.

I used to like it more before I knew Seaforth! Spiced, now it’s the lesser Spiced in my mind

It’s the result of a most sinister confluence of dark energies.
