For those playing along with the Lather Games on the other website, today’s theme is:

Sweet Sunday

Product must be a sugary sweet gourmand.  Products inspired by sweet, desserts, etc. are good candidates for this theme.

    A short head shave I did before departing for a final time to my internship place. One pass and done.

    This shaving cream in a glass jar arrived together with the Feather Popular I could finally get yesterday, so today was a first experience. Jean & Len make interesting skincare products that I really dig, although this shaving cream is not available on their website anymore. It still was there on Amazon, so I grabbed one. They advertised it as “made in Germany”; so I believe it’s made for them by Meißner Tremonia. MT also uses glass jars and also has a scent of the same name in their line-up. Actually, the smell is pretty much all eucalyptus and rosemary - kinda like a sports cream. It is nice to spread around and easy to lather though, no complaints here. The glide is pretty good, not as great as for example the WK Siero base, but still very useful for shaving…

    Using a GEM again after a long time, at first I thought it’d turn out bad. To my pleasant surprise, it was a very good and comfortable shave!
