Day 2 of LG! LFG!
This is an easy day for me to get down with since I'm one of those weirdos that loves Bay Rum. Give me something simple like the Domenica splash or jazz it up a bit like Barrister & Mann does and I'm all good. Try not to throw a shit ton of cloves in it though. No one likes that. We're not making a pumpkin pie here, kids. We're making something manly.
I've got a couple of Bay Rum options in the den but went with TSF's version because...sponsor points! While it says "Bay Rum" on the tub, this soap to me seems a bit more adjacent to Seaforth Spiced than a Bay Rum. But hey, I'll play along with TSF's games here. The scent is great but is a bit cinnamon forward (like Spiced). And then for the splash, of course I'm going to go with the one that has a friggin' old ship on it. Nothing says classic Bay Rum like an old sailing vessel on the label. Of course, Joseph's might have ripped off the idea from another scent type that will get some use today that also has a sailing ship on the bottle and has a name that sounds like Bold Lice. But the ships are different so there's no copyright infringement or whatever. And there's a lighthouse on my bottle.
As to today's challenge...Well, all I can say is that our man u/Priusaurus damn near reached legend status in last year's challenge. This is a man who loaded his cojones and dopp kit into a wheelbarrow and wheeled all of it to a table at a restaurant. As passerbys and fellow restaurant goers stared in awe, he whipped out his stupendous...shaving gear...and proceeded to attempt a relaxing shave at the table only to have management raise a fuss. Hell, I'm paranoid about shaving outside in front of a lighthouse (I need to make that happen this year) and this man does it at a busy sidewalk cafe. So I raise my coffee cup this morning in honor of this legend.
Try to enjoy your day and remember to be kind to one another.
