My name is Priusaurus. And I have a problem. It is REAAAAAALLY hard for me to back down from a challenge. When I saw Eld was hosting #RawHoggin again, I was immediately in. The boar brush I hated on August 1 last year has become one of my favorite brushes in my arsenal, so I was kinda already thinking about breaking in another boar again this August. His challenge pushed me over the edge.
Then I saw the #Monthofweckoning and I was skeptical. But I have this hair shaper that was included in a straight razor lot I bought on ebay forever ago, and I could use some improvement with my open blade technique, so I went to Sally Beauty and bought a pack of Fromm blades yesterday. Fuck it. I’m in.
And this last challenge is one I swore I’d never do again. But as I organizing my shave stuff yesterday, bringing order to my chaotic, post Lather Games den... I saw her. The siren… She calls to me. This Stirling #unscented Sheep soap. She’s sat in my den, untouched since last August. She’s lonely. She just wants a little attention. And after all that Rocket has done for me lately, making my dream of Doritos Soap and Mountain Dew Splash a reality, I couldn’t leave my guy hanging. So, I’m in for this terrible challenge too. I want to say something like, “I’m not sure if I’ll make it all month” but let’s be honest, I’m not a quitter, and I’m gonna do this all month. #prayforpriusaurus
I don’t love my Z-man unscented balm is almost empty, so I’m gonna use DG’s unscented liniment all month. But I adjusted the label to properly reflect my solidarity with DJ, and I bought this long before I knew about any of that nonsense.
I weighed my soap this morning. It weighs in at 165 grams. Let’s see what breaking in a 30mm Boar will do to this over the course of 31 days!
