2023-07-13 Hippies? Nah...Just a Fatman in the Bathtub With the Blues

• Brush: Maggard Razors - Maggard Blue Swirl, Timberwolf Synthetic, 24mm
• Razor: Gillette Slim Adjustable - Date Code J3
• Blade: Gillette Nacet, DE
• Lather: Subtle Art Soap Co. - Orange & Patchouli
• Post Shave: S. Maria Novella – Vetiver

Clean shave (nearly), really a pretty decent one. Nice soap, not the easiest lather (lots of water and churn) but the end result is a great slick lather. Yeah, I'm happy.

Where is the Patchouli?

The scents on the soap for the day are really just "Orange & Patchouli" and a nice blend.

The aftershave following up this is a bit more complex but has patchouli as one of it's base notes: (Top) lemon, jasmine, bitter orange peel (Middle) rose, bitter orange flowers, vetiver (Base) patchouli, oakmoss, vanilla. The earthiness helps ground the tart and the fruity in this composition.

Song Day: Song Feature!

Little Feat - Fatman in a Bathtub

Why this song? Well it is a good one, however mostly, as I stood shaving I glanced over at the tub. Really that was all it took. Being perpetually sleepy I thought, what if I crawl in? And this song came to mind.

And yes! It does have enough cowbell at the front to make Christopher Walken gleeful. Good fun beat complex beat. The Video, a recent official video, is a visual feast (despite the song's name) and really owes a great deal to the style of Terry Gilliam.

"Spotcheck Billy got down on his hands and knees He said,

"Hey momma, hey let me check your oil all right?"

She said "No, no honey, not tonight!

Will you comeback Monday

Will you comeback Tuesday, oh, and then I might"

Obviously it is full of sexual innuendo (I will leave you to parse it if you want) but really interesting is the rhythm. Here is a post trying to explain the wild rhythm scheme.

Take care and have a good one.
