Today's shave was built upon the principle of surprise. I was surprised about the theme because I had no clue what the hell a Chypre even was. I was surprised when I searched "Chypre" on Maggard it only came up with like one result "Le Grand Chypre". I was surprised that u/worbx announced a PIF, had that soap, and even though I didn't win, he was kind enough to send me a smoosh. I was surprised about my paranoia when I hastily added the sample of it to my Maggard cart to ensure the USPS didn't destroy my hopes and dreams by losing my smoosh sample. Then I was further surprised that Creed Aventus is a Chypre and I already had dupes of the scent in my den. So I used Olympus soap and Executive Man balm since I don't think I have room in my calendar to use WSP anywhere else.
I'm currently waiting for my video to load to Imgur, but it hasn't loaded yet and I'm not sure it will. I'm losing faith so, to hedge my bets here, lemme tell you what I appreciate about people that video their shave. That shit is difficult. I don't like talking and shaving and I'm sure there's loads of awkward silence in my video. If it loads up later, I'll post it up. If it doesn't, you're not missing much.
I'm about to take my road bike on the capital trail for a bit. Take care wet shavers. Please like and subscribe.
Have a great day folks!
Edit: video probably won't happen. It was 10 minutes long and the limit for Imgur is like 60 seconds. I also did everything through their app so I don't have a local copy. Consider yourselves spared. Apologies and congratulations.
