I had to get a quick shave in before work today so to be fair the pic probably checks off the wicked Edge section of the Photo Contest and there is a Tiger on the splash bottle so boom that another one done.
I have had this Stick of Valobra in the den just waiting for a prestigious day in order for it to be used and boom in comes Almond Day and a time for it to shine. Now I will say the Almond scent has subbed a little during its time but its still there and to confirm this Website which I’m sure is hugely popular amongst you USA folk do also say its an almond scent incase there is any whispers of DQing this.
Obviously I was running late and also rather embarrassingly I have never used a Soap Stick before, now I knew I should of just rubbed the stick all over my cue ball head but nope instead I stood there rubbing the stick (which is solid as The Rock) into the shave bowl like a demented chimp using a crayon for the first time. This weirdly resulted in not too much soap being in the bowl but with time running out I carried on having made the commitment to a sub par shave and lathered up with with the thin airy lather I had created. What was meant to be a special day with the Valobra Stick turned into basically the shaving equivalent of a drunken limp fumble down the side ally after a night out with us both ultimately feeling a little sad and used.
Now for the Challenge today to honor u/RedMosquitoMM I thought i would try and be clever using a red Handled brush and then I thought well I may not have a Mosquito but I do have my Gnat so I’m saying that’s close enough.
On a side note for u/USS-SpongeBob I added the Unicorn Hashtag for the Gnat but there isn’t much to verify this about from what I believe is the original patent for it from 1918 so I would say this counts but also any information on the Gnat is greatly received.
