July 19, 2023 – I Creamed a sock
- Razor: Gillette Tech
- Blade: Parker (2)
- Lather: Barbasol – Classic Shaving Cream, Brushless Cream
- Post Shave: Zingari – The Watchman
- Fragrance: Jo Malone – Wood Sage and Sea Salt
Since today is cream day and I’m traveling, I used the barbosol brushless I originally bought for this vacation before lather games moved to July.
Which posed and interesting problem for lather in a sock day, as you don’t really lather this.
Also my kids were sleeping, so I couldn’t get to my clean socks.
Nevertheless I loaded some cream on yesterday’s dirty sock and went to town on my face. It… Didn’t work at all. The cream simply absorbed into the sock. Now I have a soapy (well creamy) sock and no slickness on my face.
I realized I need to just get the job done up so I finished with my bare hands.
While shaving I realized I may have misunderstood the directions for the barbosol, it was way too thick and clogged the razor. I had to unscrew it a ton to clean it.
Pass two I I realized it was supposed to be so thin it was transparent. And that’s when I sliced my mole open. Oh well.
Listen judges I rubbed a dirty sock on my face. I think that at least gets some credit for trying.
So #fof. I dunno why but barbosol makes me think of boats? It’s a generic barbershop scent but.. I get boats. So I completed it with The Watchman and this wood sage and Sea salt tester. It worked surprisingly.
Today’s #photocontest is for cell phones. This is our spare phone that runs our telescope. (One of those celestron models that uses a phone to locate itself.)
Still tagging #ROTY too.
