What is old stays old. Cella has been around for like 400 years. This stuff has seen it all—from the rise and fall of empires to internet shaving competitions. Cella in shave dens everywhere for over a century, enduring world wars, disco fever, and the questionable hairstyles of the 80s and 90s. Using Cella is like stepping back in time partaking in a centuries-old ritual, connecting you with a lineage of shavers who probably did and thought a lot of fucked up stuff. But, it’s best not to dwell on that because we’ve come a long way since then! Cella is the granddaddy of shaving soaps, proving that some classics never go out of style.
What do I pair a classic like Cella with? I decided on Boonana because both are a little sweet. Cella is like Almond Biscotti and Boonana reminds me of Banana Bread. Thanks to u/Priusaurus, we’ve learned no matter how good your lather smells, I know it won’t taste good. But I’d be lying if I said there wasn’t still a big part of me that would love to take a big bite of Boonana. The #FOF is simple today: smelling like delicious baked goods.

Challenge: Ugh…. Should I do it? Should I do it? Ughhhhh… WHY IS THIS A CHALLENGE?????
Barely had enough soap to cover it, but I managed. Last year, I was kind of intrigued at this challenge and had time to mentally prepare. This year, I honestly was debating whether or not to participate. But we gotta go all out for the Lather Games!
BTW - Just because I shaved my legs, I assume I'm still supposed to spray the frag on my neck? Or does the frag go on my legs too??? Maybe I'll go back and spray my legs just to be sure.
iamhonestlylying’s Daily Top 5:
In honor of “Father’s Day”… My Top 5 TV Dads of All-Time:
(Editors note: If I were to make this list 10 years ago, Bill Cosby would have easily been #1. But we’ve learned a little bit since then, thus he will get NO credit on my list. I’m sure he’s heartbroken.)
5.) Al Bundy – My mom didn’t allow me to watch Married with Children growing up, but I’ve since watched enough to know that Al Bundy is great dad who did his best to take care of his family. Sure, maybe he’s a little rough around the edges, but aren’t we all?
4.) Danny Tanner – Never met a problem that couldn’t be solved in 22 minutes.
3.) Mike Brady – Life could not have been easy as a closeted gay man in the 1970s, but that didn’t stop Richard Reid from being the gold standard of TV dads.
2.) Carl Winslow – Imagine being a cop and going to work every day, then coming home and having this weirdo neighbor kid always hanging around, creeping on your daughter? Carl took it all in stride.
1.) Phil Dunphy – The perfect balance of humor, wit, acceptance, and love made him a perfect TV dad. Danny Tanner walked so Phil Dunphy could run.
