If you're participating in the Lather Games on the other website, here's the theme description for today:
CREAM
"Product must be marketed and labeled as a cream. Not soap, not soft soap, not croap; CREAM. Don't get cute with it.
Note: Products marketed as ""cream soap"" from any company other than Catie's Bubbles will be subject to judge discretion."
Fragrance: Floris of London - JF - Eau de Toilette
Talc: Yardley Classic
Not a lot to say. I enjoy this Grafton scent, but rarely use this cream. The brush and this cream were part of a gift set that I received long ago. The razor is another gift (from u/VisceralWatch) that I really should use more often. These little FBTs are terrific shavers.
Here are some photos of my collection of shaving stuff.
Yeah, I got it by just fiddling with it when wondering why it was so small. But I made a flippant comment on how well the razor worked given its small handle when I published this photo knowing that I had this photo in the bag for the next day. VW was very concerned that I had used the razor with the handle collapsed :)
I'm operating under the assumption that they are better than nothing. I bought them in volume (🙄) and replace them about once per month. It helps that my collection o' stuff is way from the WCs in the house.
Maybe I should change my routine Megalodon Wednesdays? Or maybe not: the soap is really good, the scent is growing on me, and even though I have a tendency to overload with this very soft soap, I'm very happy about it.

Challenge: Sigh, every year I think I should do an elaborate show of all my stuff, and every year I'm short on time on Den Tour Day. Even worse, I have absolutely no excuse because 1) Den Tour Day happens every year, so anyone could have prepared it beforehand, and 2) I chose the date for this challenge, so I even had specific knowledge about when this would happen weeks ago. Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. Have some poor pictures of my den storage.
The electric head shaver I brought with me was simply getting too irritating for my skin so I bought a cheap re-launch of the Gillette Sensor yesterday (with a flimsy plastic handle instead of metal, but whatever - it's a pure travel option anyway)
This shave was rather nice. 2-blade cartridges give me the least irritation and despite no fancy pivot mechanisms or flexballs, it was a solid head shave. It's rather funny that HAGS just pressed the soft soap into a stick format. I use it by smearing it a bit on top of my dome, then spread it all over with wet hands before lathering it up with the brush. I really wish soap sticks would still be available in drugstores around here, but no such luck.
I really miss the option of a safety razor though, so I think about getting a Feather Popular for my travel bag again.
