    Down On The Farm For AA - Day 26

    Face is smooth as glass and I smell good. I'm looking forward to shaving with a couple of new acquisitions next week, but for now we Shepherd the Hogs along.

    Speaking of hogs, brush before and after pics.

    Because no one ever said "Thank fuck it's Monday", today's $BarnyardChallenge musical inspiration will be provided by everyone's favorite vegan death metallers, Cattle Decapitation. And yes, they are a bunch of vegans growling/screeching/gurgling/roaring about how humans are doing a fine job fucking up planet earth. And yes, Mondays and mellow music just don't mix well in my book. These aren't the days that u/visceralwatch 's piano and organ skills are going soothe. It's too bad his new album isn't out now, because it has a fucking rooster on the cover which would fit perfectly with this month's musical theme. Any way, on to vegan death metal we go!.

    Thank the Universe for the magical bean juice. Try to enjoy your day and remember to be kind to one another.

    AA24 - Day 26 - Uitwaaien

    There's a bit of a chill in the air this morning, and Uitwaaien felt like a good choice to pair with Varen.

    Good close shave. No irritation with a few weepers on my neck. We’re now in the final week of AA and the Shepherds of Stirling challenge, and it’s been good while these things have lasted. We still got this week to go, so we’re not done till it’s done. It’s also baked hot out here, with heat indexes supposed to reach between 103 and 107 in my area. I’ll try to stay cool wherever I go. Overall, good shave to start off this final week of AA and Shepherds of Stirling. Stay cool guys if your area is in a heat wave like mines.

    Looking forward to the end of AA now, the razor is still shaving OK but is definitely not as sharp as it was. Hope everyone is having a good Monday.
