This smush was gifted to me by u/impressive_donut114 on the promise that I would use it on a certain day of Lather Games. I totally failed him after losing it in my sample drawer and totally sucking at Lather Games. But, I used it today. It's a very nice base that made slick and thick lather. The scent is complex and unique to my nose. It really opened up on pass 2 and is great for a Saturday Morning.

Have a nice day!

September 13th, 2025: What the heck just happened

Brush: Wolf Whiskers - "Gianmaria" w/Maggard 26mm Synthetic
Razor: Fatip Classic Testina Gentile - Chrome
Blade: Bolzano Superinox (German) (4)
Lather: Catie's Bubbles - 322 - Soap
Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Varen - Aftershave
Post Shave: Nivea - Sensitive - Balm
Fragrance: Fanzine Saponifications - Caravaggio - EdP

First go with Catie's Bubbles Premium base -- and I don't know what the heck just happened.

Well, I do... but still. How is this stuff so good? I seriously over-loaded so lathering was a bit of a lengthy process, but by the time I got to the last couple of passes the lather had settled in and was dialed. Fantastic stuff.

Premium is my favorite base. To me its incredibly easyy to use, but yeah its pretty soft, don't need a long load.

Premium++; it's so good.
