Today was a comedy of errors. It started with the challenge: bowl lathering instead of my now usual face lathering. I think during my first LG I was still bowl lathering, and probably with this same brush.
I was a bowl lathering pro. But today? It was like watching a baby giraffe learn to walk. Somehow, in trying to create a decent lather, I managed to drop my brush right into the sink. Water splashed everywhere, and I was left fumbling during this awkward endeavor. I swear, I used to be good at this.
The razor, which I picked up last year at the local Apotheke (pharmacy) for this theme, is a nightmare to use. It's plastic clamping mechanism is garbage. I knew it was going to be a disaster, and yet, I went ahead and used it anyway. What does that say about me? Probably that I'm a glutton for punishment and Internet points.
At least the shaving soap and splash were a win. Throw a rock and good local supplies can be found around here. Thank goodness for small victories!
