June 5, 2024 – Canned Shave Goop

• Brush: Lefty
• Razor: Gillette - Fusion
• Blade: Gillette - ProGlide
• Lather: Dollar Shave Club – Shave Butter
• Post Shave: Brut – Classic After Shave
• Fragrance: Brut – Classic Cologne
• The Lather: Dollar Shave Club is full of all sorts of bad ideas. Whoever thought a translucent gel would be an appealing shave lubricant should be taken out back. It felt, smelled, and looked like I rubbed KY all over my face. Honestly, I swear even that would have been better, I guess most people just get used to it. After rubbing enough with my left hand I was almost able to form something reminiscent of tiny bubbles.
• The Shave: There is a reason I stopped using these 5 bladed pieces of crap. At first I told myself and more importantly my wife it was to save money. Really it because they give such an awful shave. It probably didn’t help I shaved with my left hand. That talentless lump of flesh is as uncoordinated as a baby giraffe. Since it was reverse day I also decided to up the ante by shaving XTG first (I never shave ATG) and then WTG because why the hell wouldn’t I when I have a zero cushion lather.
• Aftershave/Frag: Sticking with today’s theme of mass-produced locally available garbage, I used Brut. Target, Walmart, or CVS take your pic and you’ll find it near me.
• Theme: Well Dollar Shave Club’s Shave Butter doesn’t come in a can, but it is available locally and definitely feels like goop. In fact everything used today can be found at a local store, including a left hand but that costs extra.
• Challenge: Reverse my lather routine, of course. I started by face lathering (I bowl lather normally) with my non-dominant hand (left). I used a reverse pattern shaving (XTG to WTG) and used the opposite hand to shave as well.
• Acknowledgement: Thank you u/2SaintsDude for the splash and frag for today’s shave, I hope to never have to use them again.
