Shaving in the Rain: Day 6 of Lather Games

  • Brush: Declaration Grooming Washington Blood of Kings B3 $Silvertip $SHD
  • Razor: Weck Sextoblade (red translucent scales) $Weckonista
  • Blade: Kismet Rostfrei, Polymer beschichtet
  • Lather: Declaration Grooming โ€“ Bangarang
  • Post Shave: Declaration Grooming โ€“ Bangarang
  • Fragrance: Declaration Grooming โ€“ Bangarang

Theme justification:

Bangarang is a throwback to our collective childhood, a transitional season scent of rain, petrichor, leaves, a touch of bay and florals.

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 ๐Ÿ˜…

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. ๐Ÿ˜…

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 ๐Ÿ˜‚
