God that was good! Surprisingly good lather for a 45 year old soap, and the scent is still there, though weaker. I took extra time wallowing in the goodness of Old Spice, and I presume that u/cowzilla3 would deem this the minimum required time. I have used Shulton Old Spice aftershave for many years. My father used it as well, so it's definitely a nostalgia-fest for me. No. 89 has been around forever too. Its scent blends well with Old Spice and it is also period-correct.

I took Paleontology Day literally and used a razor that has mammoth ivory scales. This relates more to the challenge than to u/Priusaurus.

However, I mostly participate in the Lather Games for the entertainment value of the SOTD comments, and Priusaurus' comments are consistently entertaining, or interesting. He was deserving of the win last year and I'm following his pursuit of it again this year.

"smoke 'em if you got 'em"

Using logic as we (very loosely) apply it here in the states, that phrase actually applies. 😉
