We are back from our short break and just in time to chat with Ben Esposito of House of Mammoth to discuss our collaboration: Voices! You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at how this scent inspired by the mango sticky rice came together, the deeper meaning behind the name, and the organization that a portion of the proceeds will be going to, Stop AAPI Hate (https://stopaapihate.org/).

Voices will be available as a shave soap, aftershave splash, balm, and fragrance. A handful of brushes featuring mango wood to tie into the scent of Voices have also been lovingly made by Chisel and Hound (https://chiselandhound.com/)! These will be released on Saturday, August 13th at 10am Eastern Time on House of Mammoth’s website, Top of the Chain and Anticatura. Check our social media pages for additional vendors and other information.

Hey Lather Talkers, we’ve got something a little different this episode. First Jon and Gerard do a little catch up and talk about recent pick-ups, products they are currently enjoying, and reddit’s Eight Annual Lather Games. We also have a very exciting announcement in this episode you won’t want to miss! Then we kick-off a brand new segment for the show, the Listener Spotlight, where we bring on a listener to have a brief chat and ask them, “What would you bring for your desert island shave?” Our first listener we are featuring is Ben Louie, also known as OnePassBen from the Canadian Mafia Show over on Instagram!

*PLEASE NOTE* We are currently testing new recording software, forgive any issues with audio quality, overlapping audio or other similar issues as it may take a few episodes to really dial everything in properly. We thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

Our guest for this episode is none other than Chris Cullen of Catie's Bubbles, one of the early artisan soap makers in the wetshaving who just so happens to be pretty talented at scenting as well! Chris has seen trends come and go in wetshaving is set to celebrate TEN years in the business. What does he have planned to commemorate the occasion? You'll have to listen to find out! Aside from his wealth of knowledge as an artisan, we also talk (a little) about our shared love of professional wrestling, but we promise we won't get TOO into the weeds on that topic.

We’re joined by friend-of-the-show Ross McBee for a casual conversation tackling a number of topics: the ebb and flow of interest as a wetshaving hobbyist and taking healthy breaks, price increases all around us, and ultimately end up on the state of the shaving brush market and predictions where it may go. We just love talking about brushes!
