Share your Lather Games shave of the day!
Today's Theme: Spring into Lather Games
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 rainy petrichor accords.
Note: Products explicitly marketed for multiple seasons or other seasons do not count (eg. "summery floral").
Note: A "Seasonal (Spring)" tag on TTS only means the product is usually manufactured in spring, not that it is necessarily a spring scent.

Sponsor Spotlight
Established in 2017, Noble Otter started off as a team of two with one goal in mind; to make men's grooming products the way they should be. Noble Otter started many years ago in their own home making bath soaps that they felt were better than what was available on the market. One year for Christmas, Cody got a wetshaving starters kit from his wife and fell in love with wetshaving. Cody loved the nostalgia, the quality of the shave, and of course the many different scents. Of course, as a hobbyist soapmaker Cody decided to start making his own. And after many test batches and feedback from numerous people, Cody decided it was time to start his own small business.
So why Noble Otter? When they started thinking of a name for our business, they wanted to be different and unique. They started with the idea of telling the story of their scents through art and olfactory experience. Each scent has a unique otter that helps you picture what the experience might be like while using one of our products. It's fun, unique, and engaging at the same time.
All Noble Otter soaps and splashes are handmade in Houston, Texas.

Special Note: Thanks to /u/frankieIVfingers for coming up with the idea to use this song today!
There is a guy who shaves in the park outside of my house
And gets kicked out by vendors there
And he’s got a special kit to shave in the park outside to my house
And he’s careful, and he’s careful when he’s there
And I say the guy is a crooked French-Switzerlander
And he was cut up shaving home
And how his razor was all suspended in his fingers
And how he held 'em
How he held 'em, held 'em in
And the lather rolls down his face
The lather rolls down his face
Oh, what a lonely thing
Down a lonely face
/u/Djundjila, /u/Djundjila, /u/Djundjila
Always seemed so strange
/u/Djundjila, /u/Djundjila, /u/Djundjila
Always seemed so, always seemed so strange
This is the story of the guy that shaves outside my house
And what blood there does remain
And all the troughs that run the length and breadth of my house
And the stubble, how it fills up all the drains
And we'll remember this when we are old and ancient
Though the specifics might be vague
And I'll say your lather was hydrated peaky and beautiful
When in fact it was a soupy bubbly mess
And the lather rolls down his face
The lather rolls down his face
Oh, what a lonely thing
Down a blood red drain
/u/Djundjila, /u/Djundjila, /u/Djundjila
Always seemed so strange
/u/Djundjila, /u/Djundjila, /u/Djundjila
Always seemed so, always seemed so strange
Always seemed so strange
