It's beginning to look a lot like...uhhhh...Christmas...yea, that's it. All the smooshes are under the...blooming rose bushes. There's a slight...or not so slight...bit of humidity in the air. And the sun is trying to kill us during this season. But for the sake of the Lather Games, it's Christmas Eve! I'd like to thank u/chronnoisseur42O for today's shave. That man was a smoosh sending beast in the run-up to the Games and I appreciate him adding me to his "Nice" list this year. As you can see from the SOTD pic, the US Postal Service didn't give a shit about our reindeer games and that smoosh arrived looking like it sat under every sweaty USPS worker between our respective coasts. I managed to scrape out enough ass-warmed soap to get a great shave this morning. M&M does have a really nice soap base and this scent is a really nice expansion on the barbershop spectrum. So thank you to the man who took his life into his hands shaving with an ice kamisori.
On to the Daily Challenge. While there are plenty of longstanding sub members I could say something nice about, rookies need some compliments too. This morning, I'm raising my coffee cup to u/tsrblke. That guy has not only thrown himself into the sub as an active participant but he also espouses the ethos of generosity we have around these parts. A couple of months ago, he was offering up smooshes of Shire 2 and Rumble and I figured I would find out what this guy was about. Well, the guy is a man of his word and the smooshes showed up on my doorstep pretty quickly. He has offered up his generosity at other times as well, including in the LG run up. And in an age of electronic communication, this dude has the coolest personalized envelopes. Seriously. When's the last time you've seen personalized envelopes? It's been at least 20 years for me. So that's the praise I'm going to sing this morning.
Have a great day all!
