    Why is the Rum Gone?: Day 3 of Lather Games

    • Brush: Muninn Big Fucking Motherlode Tropicana $RESIN
    • Razor: Böker S.S. Paris Wins (6/8", carbon steel, full hollow, square point) $MACHINEAGE
    • Lather: Capt. Fawcett’s – Scapicchio
    • Post Shave: Declaration Grooming – B Cubed
    • Osma: Osma – Osma
    • Fragrance: Stirling Soap Co. – Boat Drinks

    Theme justification: Scapiccio is a bay rum plus figs and olives, and the dude is a captain. B Cubed is a bay rum as well, and Boat Drinks are on a boat.

    The razor is a perfect fit for today’s theme, but it is a bit of a mystery, too. To the best of my abilities, I can date it to pre 1930 (because it doesn’t have the “Made in Germany” stamp that would have been mandatory starting then) and it can’t predate the S.S Paris’ win in 1889 because, well, why would they have made the razor (A bit more background for those interested). So I feel pretty safe claiming the $MACHINEAGE tag.

    I almost forgot about the Osma challenge, so I reshot the SOTD pic (previous pic). I used it ✅

    I used to love bay rum scents starting out, and BaM’s Bay Rum was my favourite soap at some point. Now I find it mildly nauseating. No idea why it changed but no bueno.

      I love bay rum, but I use it sparingly. I can see how it could become nauseating.

        Yeah, I just overdid it at some point. I gave away by BaM Bay Rum a while back
