A quick Google search and a Wikipedia click later: "The family business was founded by Michael Mäurer, and his stepson Andreas August Wirtz, who established a soap works in Stolberg in 1845. The company initially produced soft soaps, curd soaps, and fine soaps, which were sold in a local grocery store." The company has been around since 1845, with Tabac being produced since 1959. Some love it, some hate it, and I am one of those who love it. Not only do I like the scent, but I manage to get top-tier performance every time I use it. Semogue started in the 1950s, and Gillette in the early 1900s.

After last year, I told myself I would do leg day this time. I had to get out the door early this morning, so I didn't have time, and by the time I got back, I had talked myself out of it. My loving wife told me that was probably for the best since shaving your legs is the worst. She said I would cut myself a ton, which would be a terrible experience. Naturally, I had to prove her wrong. The problem was that the challenge states it has to be high enough for shorts, and short shorts raise your lifting max by at least 10 pounds. That means I have to shave at least high enough for my shorts that have a 5-inch inseam; oh boy. So I figured while I was at it, I should shave my chest again like last year, and quite frankly, the only hair I have left at this point is on my arms, armpits, and head. Obviously, there is only photo evidence of the chest and legs, but oh well. NSFW, seriously you don't want to see this NSFW.
