Went to bed feeling sick, woke up feeling only slightly better, but LG waits for no man.
Ahoy! Nautical themes today! SSL seems to cause some interesting talk each year. I was shocked to find out from u/USS-SpongeBob that “Seaforth” has nothing to do with the Sea, but SSL is clearly nautical, referring to “waves crashing over the deck” in its marketing (among other things.) Wo! To anyone who uses Spiced though today.
The shave…sucked. The cheap AC blades I have have no sharpness, they scrapped, and my skill with this Kami is non-existent. Normally I’d ride out the shitty shave but after 2 passes I finished with the injector because while sick I want to feel clean. But I did do 2 full passes with this shavette, and my face feels it. The weck may be better actually.
While “pirates” theme makes the most sense I suppose for #photocontest I’m still figuring that one out. So instead let’s do some Humor in paying tribute to u/Priusaurus. When I asked my kids how to work this in they immediately said “Dinosaur”, so the SOTD photo is a cheetah (which I gather is supposed to be me) attempting to steal the dinosaur’s shaving stuff. Actually, this is a story in photos, so here’s cheetah being arrested by FredBird. (Something to be said about my daughter’s thoughts on my winning this year). Now I confess, the layout here is odd, but my daughter set it up while I was looking for the kami. My wife walked in and went “What…are you teaching her.” I commented “I swear there’s a story here that’s…well it’s still weird, but at least it makes sense.” Stay tuned because Cheetah’s exploits are making a comeback (but not as “Animal”.)
For #fof, SSL trifecta would have been boring. Instead, I wanted to try something new and pulled the spice note through the shave. I followed up with Indian Old spice, and then Spice Bomb INFRARED. Which…apparently causes my TV to randomly change channels when I walk by. My daughter apparently is trying to join u/cowzilla3’s family because she declared Old Spice “the best” and Spice Bomb “pretty good.” But SSL got a “yuck.” Overall, the progression seemed to work as we went from citrus with a hint of spice, to spice with a hint of citrus to spice only (and magic TV tuning rays.)
