IT’S DAY ONE OF THE LATHER GAMES!!!! My fourth year competing and I’m super excited for it! I have been super busy lately and haven’t been able to really plan for a lot of the month and will be flying by the seat of my pants for a bit.
I had a late shave today, partially because I had Dad responsibilities today with my wife working night shift today. Also partially because I was putting off using this razor after hearing how terrible some people had said it was. It really is an awesome concept for a razor with a pretty cool history. While it wasn’t named after Rolls Royce the creators had hoped that people wouldn’t notice that it was a different company and just assume that it was the same company. After furiously studying the instructions that came with it I decided to use both the hone and strop side to see how sharp it was. Honestly, it wasn’t the worst, it pulled like shit but I didn’t cut myself and it removed hair from my face. It’s a coin flip on if this will end back up on eBay or not.
It’s a damn good thing that my wife is working tonight because none of these scents go together but for the Games, I’m using all new brands for software and this is what I’m stuck with. None are bad on their own, but together they just straight up clash!
Finally, as the resident preachers kid around here, I figure it’s my place to give the invocation for this month:
Our Lather who art in brushes,
Slickness be thy name,
Thy razor come,
Thy stubble gone,
From face down to the ankles.
Give us this day our daily trifecta,
And forgive us for our sniping,
as we forgive those who snipe deals before us.
And lead us not into shave_bazaar;
but deliver us from Razor Emporium.
For thine is the slickness,
the cushion and unobtanium,
for passes and passes. Amen.
Daily Theme Justification: I’ve never used AA soap before! Thanks to u/thebunnynator1001 for sending this sample!
