Daily Theme: If you looked in dictionary under almondy you'd find a picture of Cella Crema da Barba Almond. The fact that the container is red is an added bonus.
Daily Challenge: I can't rap like u/Crisp_Mango, I'm not creative enough to write an ode like u/MrTangerinesky, and I don't have easy access to the precision tools used by u/Rdthedo and u/hairykopite to create a crimson homage. What I can do is dedicate today's musical selection to /u/RedMosquitoMM. The song's title says it better than anything I could come up with.
An easygoing comfortable shave to start the day. Cella and the hardware did their jobs well and I was focused enough to keep my technique sound. A 2-pass DFS was the result.
A final nod to /u/RedMosquitoMM - while brainstorming today's challenge I found one of his comments (to fellow LG rook u/tsrblke) regarding Precision Loading. I'm a PL convert (thanks to u/CosmoBarber and his video) but I never quite figured out the transition from bowl to face lathering. With one phrase ("...and then add the last few dips of water while working the lather into my stubble...") I achieved lathering enlightenment thanks to /u/RedMosquitoMM. #ROTY
