Welcome back to Wetshaving Arena wetshaving fans. March Madness has lived up to it's name in both the basketball tournament and here on the sub. But, we're going to ignore Yale taking down an SEC team or Grand Canyon taking down a WCC stalwart and focus on Spearhead taking on House of Mammoth for the right to challenge Stirling in the semifinals.
Spearhead fans are feeling full of themselves and have shown up here to "Spear the Mammoth" wearing nothing but animal skins and smelling like dirt. Or maybe dirt with a heavy dose of SSL or 3 Scots. Unfortunately, that side of the arena looks and smells like a Grateful Dead show. On the other side of the arena are the happily showered and nattily dressed House of Mammoth supporters. u/mammothben has assured his fans that if he wins, he has the sprinklers over the Spearhead side set to douse the unwashed masses with his award winning fragrances while giving them his best Jerry Garcia middle finger.
It's time to give a Tusk To the Nuts to the Spear the Mammoth crew. Let's get ready to ruuuuuuuuuuumbllllleeeee!
Onto the shave and this was a no-brainer for me. Look, if I schlepped a HoM soap to Miami with me for last weekend's shave, do you think I wasn't going to use it in my home den? The only question for me was which scent. It's snowing here today so Hygge would have been appropriate. But, I'm ready for spring (or Mud Season as we call it here in Maine), so Alive got the call. It did not disappoint. The blade, on the other hand, was a bit of disappointment. It felt a bit tuggy. We'll see if a little hand stropping brings it back tomorrow or it gets binned after the shave.
Try to enjoy your day and remember to be kind to one another.
