Use of Theme: Vetiver You Want
Last year I would’ve pulled the Dirtyver dickhole, but Mrs_D hated it, so Dirtyver and I parted ways last September. It turns out to be an amicable parting as Fresh Vetiver satisfies and scratches that itch. You know the saying, happy spouse, happy house. I called a last minute audible, having nearly mince-o-matic’d my face, and changed from Fine aftershave to Hoffman’s for some additional nourishment. It has a greener note than does the Fresh Vetiver and soothed my skin nicely. The fragrant finish of Mon Vetiver is an excellent compliment to the others providing some warmth and sweetness.
Daily Challenge: GeoFatBoy Special
I take everything with a grain of salt, these days. And, unlike some people, am willing to seek what good there may be from what the aforementioned cast off in ignorance or hate. GeoFatBoy’s content is no different. If anything, I picked up tips on how to go about shaving with a straight razor. So that’s what I’m going with today for the challenge, a never-before-tried ATG pass with my Bengall 5/8. And today’s shave is one for the WetTube gag reel. Not that I had anything going for today’s video, but, right in the middle of shaving, Mrs_D knocks on the wall from the shower on the other side of the shave den and yells at me to bring her the towel she forgot. Half-shaved, I figured I would just sign off and call it done. Apparently I pushed the button to start recording and the rest is what we have today. The razor is great, the ensuing shave and video not so great.
Here’s to better shaves, and be kind to one another.
