My dad died 3 days before the games started, it was unexpected and we were very close. I was dreading today. Having it be leg day and getting to distract myself with the antics has been an incredible gift. For all those who did the silly thing and shaved their legs I want you to know it made a difficult day easier.

June 16, 2024 – Making my father proud – but not with this  

  • Brush: Century – Pure Bristle  
  • Razor: Ever Ready 1912  
  • Lather: Proraso – Green Tea & Oat  

Theme: Proraso has been around since before my dad was born and it smells like TV static. Went with an old brush, and old razor and an old mug as well. Mug was my dad’s. He HATED shaving, but he always shaved with a brush and mug set when I was kid. I inherited them (stole them) when I started wet shaving. He had to take up shaving again in the last 7 months as he needed frequent heart biopsy that went through his neck. I made him smell my entire collection to pick the soaps he wanted to use. Stirling Gatlinburg ended up being his choice.

Challenge: I thought somewhere it said leg shavers should shave arms but when I went and looked it didn’t say anything about it. For before and after purposes the right leg is before and the left leg is after. I normally don’t shave my legs daily and menthol day disrupted my careful quadrant rotation I use to keep from getting irritated during the games.
