DAILY THEME:
For the theme that is for the day of today that is Wednesday I tried to make everything with brands that you can find readily available at local drug stores, the Hand part especially, every shop/marker/drugstore I've ever been to has hands, it's the most common and readily available shaving gear there is. Osage Rub is probably the one that isn't that easily found, but somehow the scent matches the mood of Nivea, gives me some kind of Nostalgia of days gone, days past, days where I didn't shave.
The razor is a VERY interesting piece of ~~garbage~~ equipment. There was a promotion around Christmas(of course) of these razors in a shopping chain(Lidl) here in Bulgaria and me and the boys went out and got it. Took me about 4 months to use it, but I gotta give out props, this thing came with a very adequate piece of paper that had instructions on safety and how to use it, load the blade, etc. Right now the interesting part. When the day came and I decided to give it a go(even made a video of that, see 2:52 on how to open packaging of a razor). Put the blade in, immediately was amazed at how advanced the bottom plate was, I mean you could shift it to the left, you could shift it to the right. One might say I liked to move it move it! And make no mistake, this innovation of bottom plate shifting made for giving a type of slant gap between the blade and the bottom cap, GENIUS! After one chooses their setting of where the bottom plate should sit, comes the next surprise, when you screw the handle and tighten it. I tell you, there is a bigger chance of a dickless man having sex with a woman, than this razor shaving. Basically when tightened like any other razor, the blade just lays flat on the bottom plate. BUT, this was my mistake, I didn't know this was AN ADJUSTABLE RAZOR! YES FOLKS YOU READ RIGHT! This razor has the unique ability to let you choose the blade gap, because depending on how much you screw the handle the gap goes from 0.0 to 1.x. After a bit of adjusting I found my preferred gap and shaved. Was it rough? Yes. Did I get a decent result? Yes? Would I repeat? No.(today's an exception). I can definitely send it for a passaround here or on Discord, cause it's to say the least, INTERESTING and an EXPERIENCE!
Unlike some people, I didn't need to go to drug stores and shave in questionable sanitary enviorments, cause I was prepared. And I didn't forget, cause MrTangerinesky doesn't forget!(except when he does, but that doesn't happen).
