Fun fact, I mixed up days and did a shave before this. Got as far as going to post it and realized. So I dragged myself back to the bathroom to shave my knee. Just my knee. Just one knee. My legs are a total patchwork thanks to the games. I’ve also been really digging my smoll set with sample sizes.
Challenge: I don’t own alum, I thought it was for if you cut yourself. I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve ever cut myself shaving.
As for why I don’t rub straight salt on my skin? Other than the sheer silly-ness, we simply don’t keep enough of it in the house for such things. My dad’s heart is bad, like transplant list bad. When you have cardiac issues sodium is the enemy. So mom bought a case of salt shakers, filled them up from a Costco container and now controls the shakers. Only one is allowed out into the house at a time. Where the rest are hidden? Only she knows, probably with a collection of t-rex and Godzilla figurines we keep sneaking into her nativities and she keeps disappearing.
