Shaving in the Rain: Day 6 of Lather Games
Theme justification:
Bangarang is one of my earliest software sets, and it's a bit of a stroll down memory lane to use it. It's a happy, slightly sweet scent, and with the trusty little Washington and the Sextoblade, I had a delightful morning shave.
Awesome picture! This black theme goes really well together with the red accents of software and the Weck. What's the background, looks like a really quality piece of wood?
Unfortunately Bangarang mostly evokes memories of laundry day at my grandparents' house for me. Smells kinda like her laundry detergent of choice did ๐
Thanks,!
It's a really high quality shopping bag ๐คฃ
It's always interesting to hear how scents evoke some super specific associations!
Huh, colour me impressed! I thought it was a massive ebony table. ๐
Yeah, I kinda got it back then because I was curious how well petrichor scents could really emulate my favourite nature scent of fresh rain on warm, dusty roads... Only to be hit with a blast from the past of Persil ๐
