July 7, 2023 – Massacre of the MAMIL

• Brush: Maggard Synthetic
• Razor: Gillette Guard
• Lather: Declaration Grooming – Massacre of the Innocents
• Post-Shave Fine Accouterments - American Blend

Spicy. In the world of road cycling that’s what we call a group ride that is a little faster than advertised. One where you weren’t expecting to be huffing and puffing and trying desperately to hold on to the wheel of the rider in front of you before getting dropped entirely and having to limp your way home alone. Massacre of the innocents is the spiciest I’ve got and turns out, despite some random internet reviews, it’s not all that spicy. In road cycling terms it’s a coffee ride, one where you get to know the rider next to you, spin the legs and spin the yarn, while getting a decent workout, and stopping halfway for coffee and a pastry. Great. Just not that spicy. Maybe next year. The scent really reminded me of some NO scents. Finished it off with my usual American Blend for that anise to mix with that soft cinnamon of the massacre. Thanks again to u/Tetriside for the smush to help me get through this LG. Riding up Mt. Baldy this Sunday, hoping I don’t bonk on the way up! I’ve got another cycling themed shave coming up later in the month that I’m super psyched about. Any other MAMILs (middle age men in Lycra) out there? Anyone following the Tour de France? Now that I’m shaved, time to enjoy some conveyor belt sushi.

Cheers! 🤙
