June 16, 2024 – LG24 Day 16 - Father's Day
Daily Theme & Relevant Post/Frag: I was born in 1963. Tabac, the brand, was launched in 1959 and its parent company, Mäurer & Wirtz, was founded in 1854. Older than me theme met. On the relevant front, I trick holed the post and frag, thus all software used today comes from companies older than me.
Keeping with the older than me theme, the razor and blade are made by Gillette. Gillette, the brand, was founded in 1901, and its parent company, Procter & Gamble, was founded in 1837. The brush is a little more complicated but still meets the spirit of the older than me theme. The 506U is branded RazoRock (which was founded in 2009, but the brush is white-label manufactured by Zenith. The Zenith brand is owned by Pennellificio Pandolfo, whose origins date back to 1902.
The Slim Adjustable brings back fond memories of my Dad. The Adjustable was his razor of choice throughout my childhood. Some of my earliest memories are of watching Dad shave with his Slim. Dad's slim has disappeared, but I got this reconditioned Slim in his honor, and it has a date code (I2) which alignes with my birth quarter.
Daily Challenge & Shave: Today's challenge is Leg Day, and its purpose is to find out how the other side lives. While some may question the placement of leg day on Father's Day, the concept itself is an honorable one. It is not my place to question why some participants chose to forgo today's leg shaving challenge, but I am of the belief that those who passed on leg day missed an opportunity to better understand the challenges leg shaving practitioners face every time they do so. Here is my leg shave.
