I get a ton of rose with Y/R/P which steers me clear of it. I did try to concentrate on the others and think I can pull out the patchouli. Overall, this reminds me of a young grandma (think Blanche from Golden Girls) hugging you in a hippy shop. To round out the experience, incense from Black Watch to complete the shop smells. Both scents also from Shawn Maher.
I had to go three pass with the mildest razor I have to minimize the amount of face hair I have to prep for tomorrow’s straight-for-the-face kill shot blood bath. July 14 will forever be remembered as a day of excruciating loss, mostly skin, within r/wetshaving.
Music: Paper Planes by M. I. A.. Why you ask? Because in college, this was all I heard before and during every freshman party. It’s seared into my mind with accompanying memories of Dankness. The real sticky hippy dippy dankness that permeates your skin, hair, and clothes. Half from the actual smoke, half from the body sweat/basement wall sweat. It’s such a strange fondness to have of the memory, I am realizing, as I’m writing out how gross it was. Would never trade it for anything. Except maybe /u/whosgotthepudding casino night. That sounded awesome.
