Christmas in July, but in June's Eve
- Brush: Dogclaration LG 2022 Mystery Brush (B16)
- Razor: Wardonia Possibly a "Rugby Set"
- Blade: Personna Platinum
- Lather: Eleven Shaving Blue Spruce
- Post Shave: PannaCrema Nero
- Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company Seaforth! 3 Scots
Christmas Eve! This sub is so damn generous that I had lots of choice today ♥
Theme: All around great guy and Chief Podcast Djustice u/OnionMiasma has a 100% participation rate so far in this year's Lather Games. Thank you for letting me try this soap from a new-to-me soaper, Onion!
Relevant post & frag (and razor, and brush...): Everything in this shave was received with no exchange of currency involved from someone who is involved in the games in some way: The post shave was a gift from u/VisceralWatch, my friend and one of the two wettubers I follow. He donates his time as a Lather Games Djudge and Podcast Guest Djustice. The razor is from my friend u/Semaj3000, who gave me this piece of Sheffield history and serves as a Djudge in the SOTD Photo Scavenger Hunt. The brush was my prize from u/declarationgrooming after I OnionMiasmaed the 2022 Lather Games, and 3 Scots was a PIF from u/Ironbeard_SYS, both of which are sponsors in this year's games.
Challenge: I'd love a sub exclusive straight razor from Ulrik of Koraat. A big full hollow 7/8 with blacksmith finish and MOAR BOAR-green scales. (Think Sparschweinchen, but full hollow).
Ulrik did a razor exclusive for Saponificio Varesino so he’s done it before. How many would buy a r/wetshaving straight do you think?

So did TI, they're both gorgeous!

Excellent question. It's not everyone's cup of tea, and it's a lot pricier than the Moar Boar 🤔
I heard that the SV razor was a big commitment for Ulrik and interfered with progress on his backlog. My understanding is that is why TI took over. Your idea of keeping it simple for him and basing it off the Piggy Bank is a great one.
Obviously, I’m in. If you get a list of interested buyers, and the numbers are reasonable, I will help you propose this to him. He normally works at risk; getting payment after the work is done. My contribution to the effort will be to reduce his risk by paying all, or some portion, of the money up front to provide incentive for the effort.
Oh, you seem really motivated! Let's get in touch and see whether we want to spearhead something together maybe after the LG craziness is over?
Right now I don't feel like I have any free bandwidth 😬
I completely understand. Yeah, I think we have a unique global community, and I see more SRs being used in SOTD comments. A sub+lemmy group straight would be cool in several ways. Look forward to chatting in July.
Yes, me too!
