- Music: Molly Tuttle - Crooked Tree
Today I'm celebrating Almonday with my first proper Almond Leather shave outside of an ill-fated and ultimately DQ'd shave with an Almond Leather bar soap during last year's Games and a smush that had lost most of its scent during the 2021 Lather Games. And I don't know why I only ever use this soap during internet shaving competitions as the scent is marvelous. Most almond shave soaps I've tried are too sweet but the leather and frankincense balance it out very nicely. Mood Indigo was good choice for post shave and frag, because both have a picture of a mammoth on the packaging and they smell nice together.
It is common knowledge around R/WS that the MM in u/RedMosquitoMM stands for MicroMatic, so I paid tribute to last year's Champion by shaving with a Micromatic razor and posting about my coffee and a song recommendation as well. I found Molly Tuttle's music the same way most people discover exceptionally talented female country/bluegrass/Americana singer-songwriters, which is by searching Apple Music for one of my favorite Rancid songs (Olympia, WA) and coming across her excellent cover version of it in the search results.
