  • Brush: Chisel & Hound Classic 26mm V23 Fanchurian
  • Razor: Geneva Cutlery Co. 6/8" Hollow Ground Round Point
  • Lather: The Cajun Blade - Cuba Libre - Soap
  • Post Shave: The Cajun Blade - Cuba Libre Aftersauce - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Thayers - Coconut - Toner

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


I'm toasting the Lather Games on its penultimate day with a Cuba Libre; a new soap (released early this month) from The Cajun Blade. The soap captures the essence of the Cuba Libre drink pretty well I think. The cola, rum, and lime are blended well, but the notes are noticeable. The "Aftersauce" provides more of the lime note and has a bit of menthol, providing the sensation of a drink over ice.
