    • Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! Sea Spice Lime

    One week of AS2EB is in the books, and there are still plenty of participants. I’m starting to think that this will all come down to points, and not to the last shaver shaving.

    Mike’s is another soaper that I don’t really use. LatherBot is really not on my side so far. Luckily, I bought a bunch of samples for my 2021 Lather Games run, and one of those orders contained Mike’s Lime. (RIP Shave Dash, you had a great run).

    Unsurprisingly, the 4 year old sample is barely scented anymore, only a faint hint of lime is discernable. It seems like I slept on yet another great soap base though: this smush lathers into dense layer that hydrates gradually. Foolproof, really.

    I’m curious to see whether anyone has the theme soap (probably @sahenders@sub.wetshaving.social, he seems to have a u/sgrdddy - esque den), and how many people have a soap with a lavendin note.
