While the title of today's challenge includes the word "Canned" the challenges rules state:
Product must be mass-produced and available at a geographically-local-to-You pharmacy, grocery, department, or convenience store (or, for rural participants, available in the nearest municipality that contains such a store).
Since the word "canned" isn't in the rules, I'd safely say my typical shaving routine puts me in the unenviable position to hit this challenge out of the ballpark. I've been DE shaving for two years, and only two months ago bought my first artisan soap samples. As noted next to each listed item, everything other than my razor came from my regular grocery store. The brush was part of a kit my wife made me buy when I got my first razor - the dreaded Viking's Blade Chieftain, which is a re-branded Baili BR179, which is pretty awful as razors go. Since the razor came from the Interwebs, I didn't include it in today's shave. Everything else is always just sitting there on the grocer's shelf ready for the taking.
Challenge: So I'll admit I'm an idiot when it comes to this sort of thing. I like sandalwood, spicy and woody notes, so there's that. Ah, well.
