July 5, 2023 – All Things Must Pass

• Razor: Schick Injector Type I1
• Blade: Personna Injector (4)
• Lather: Ultra Max – Shave Cream Extra Thick
• Post Shave: Fine Accoutrements – American Blend

Todays theme was an excellent opportunity to go into the independently owned dollar store type place on the old Main Street of my new neighborhood. I’ve been eyeing it up, you can tell from the old awning it was a post-war five and dime when the neighborhood was really thriving. I expected to see evidence of the old shop when I went in, dreaming of the original tin ceiling. And I was immediately let down when greeted with stained dropped ceiling and rows of sad and even more sad imported crap home goods. But hey the store is now going out of business and everything was 30 percent off. It was tough but I decided to pass of the cool water homage scented oil. Luckily I did find this industrial can of Goop. 14 ounces for 1.39 after discount! A dime an ounce, and I tell you it was worth every penny. I mean not the scent but the shave surprised me. 2 pretty gentle pass shave with an acceptable result. But as a man who lived a life of odd struggle here and there I needed a splash I could count on. I mean all these red shave cans are ultimately homages of Barbasol so why not splash the American Blend. Fun shave. But I will never again hand face lather the oddest foamy almost putty like soap with a scent reminiscent of a goodwill sofa with potpourri donated from the early 90s jammed into the seat cushions. Love the playlist tho.

Cheers! 🤙
