It's Monday. Again.
But it's Lathergames Monday.
Excited are we?
That's the spirit!
You know what the greatest invention in wetshaving is?
Osma.
Use it; you'll understand.
The legendary brick of salt,
Hewn from the from ancient natural deposits in Craponne France
Oh don't be childish! (I know you read it as "crap on")
Under watchful eyes are those secrets,
Guarded by the mythical knights of Osma.
Highly sought after are their secrets,
Those secrets learned from ancient Egyptian papyruses
You don't believe me do you?
Osma's website; read it. It's all there.
Uncouth masses.
Well on to today's theme of "where's the beef?"
Even if the ads are from 40 years ago, the phrase stuck.
Really, who hasn't heard of it before?
Everyone should know this bit of pop culture.
Getting to the meat of the matter,
Even if we've been chewing the fat a bit,
There was still the matter of choosing the soap:
Tallow it must be since I'll use some non-vegan soaps.
It could have been vegan if I continued only using vegan.
Now I searched through my cabinet and found one:
Gratiot League Square, by Declaration Grooming.
Of course, it should've been obvious with a bison on the lid.
For my defence, I thought it was a cow.
Forgive me.
Excited I was to learn I didn't need to buy another soap.
And so I shaved with said bison tallow soap.
Splashed water on my face and rubbed it with Osma.
You don't need aftershave if you have Osma^TM
