It's that day of the week again! Share your shave of the day!

If you're playing along with the Lather Games on that other website, the theme today is "April Showers Bring May Flowers".

Product must be:
     - Explicitly marketed as a Spring scent OR
     - Explicitly marketed for a holiday occuring between Vernal Equinox and Summer Solstice OR
     - Prominently feature floral, grassy, or petrichor accords.
Caveat: Products explicitly marketed for multiple seasons or other seasons do not count (eg. ""summery lilac"").

April Showers Bring may Flowers

  • Brush: Stirling Soap Co. / Zenith - Boar Brush 31mm × 50mm
  • Razor: Weck - Hair Shaper (green translucent scales)
  • Blade: Kismet - Rostfrei, Polymer beschichtet
  • Lather: Spearhead Shaving Company Seaforth! - Heather
  • Post Shave: Noble Otter- Cerberus Fougère
  • Fragrance: Chatillon Lux - Weinstrasse

Theme justification: Heather is a floral fougère and used to be one of the example suggestions for this theme (then the opening theme "Spring into Lathergames".

This is the first soap I've ever used in a Lather Games, and I got a bit nostalgic shaving with it. Djudging Lather Games is fun and all, but sometimes I want to hop back in the ring and compete. Maybe next year? Regardless, great shave with the little Weck and the big brush.

Relevant post and frag: They're green, they smell green, and they are fougères like the soap. On a side note, Weinstrasse is the reference scent for a "green" scent for me.

Challenge: Colour-coordinated spring colours green and earth tones in harmony.
