Happy Father’s Day! Or in my case, you are not the father. Today, every brand is older than me, and that is the linking factor, including hardware. We have Proraso (1908), Clubman Pinaud (1810), TOBS (1854), Gillette (1901), and Zenith (1902).
As for #FOF, the link today was more on age, but we’ll chat a bit anyway. Proraso green is a fairly light eucalyptus and menthol. Lilac vegetal is severely lacking in the lilacs, oh my god, it’s so horrible. It’s like if the worst tasting medicine had a scent, and you mixed that with a used urinal cake, then sprinkled with baby powder to try and cover the stench. Jermyn street is a fresh and modern “Cologne like” fougere. Pretty heavy on the citrus.
As for our #PHOTOCONTEST, we went with DIY. It seemed fitting for the Father’s Day theme today. My dad was not much of a DIYer, but that’s ok, his strengths were elsewhere. But as a relatively new homeowner myself, we got some tools to try and do basic stuff because some things are just crazy expensive. A few triumphs. I’ve successfully fixed the AC in my old, made cornhole boards, fixed our washer, and made a compost bin.
As for today’s challenge, ain’t happening. Also, those old types have serious blade feel. I’m typing this from the airport (sorry Mr Miasma, didn’t shave here) and no way was leg shave going down right before vacation.
