Day 2 with Stag. I think we're getting the hang of this! It's working out well!

Have a Stag-y Friday!

That aside, I propose A Hymn to Midnight Stag!

Oh Midnight Stag, divine and true,
Bestower of smoothness, comfort anew,
In thy realm of lather, we find our peace,
A close and gentle shave, our souls release.

Thy scent, a symphony of earth and sky,
Bergamot's citrus zest, doth catch the eye,
Cedarwood's ancient wisdom, whispers low,
While lavender's calm, our senses doth bestow.

With every stroke of the doubled edge blade,
Thy rich, creamy lather, our skin hath made,
A canvas smooth, a surface so divine,
Reflecting the beauty, of thy sacred shrine.

Thy tallow heart, a treasure to behold,
Nourishes and moisturizes, young and old,
The shaving brush, a humble servant true,
Dances with joy, in thy lathery dew.

Oh Midnight Stag, we sing thy praise,
For the blessings thou bringest, to our daily ways,
In the stillness of morning, thou dost abide,
A constant companion, by our side.

May thy fragrance rise, like incense to the sky,
As we, thy faithful, do thy glory deny,
For in thy realm of shaving, we find our delight,
Oh Midnight Stag, our hearts, thou dost make bright.
