June 17, 2024 - Don't Have a Cow, Man!

  • Brush: Rubberset 400 w/ Maggard Synthetic
  • Razor: Yates Precision Manufacturing - 921-M
  • Blade: Gillette - Platinum
  • Lather: Proraso - Eucalyptus Oil & Menthol Shaving Cream
  • Post Shave: Mennen - Skin Bracer

Today's Theme: According to Proraso's website, Proraso Green is "cruelty-free and no ingredients of animal origin", so I am taking their word for it. Used a synthetic brush instead of my Omega today to let the judges know I mean business on vegan day.

Today's Challenge: As a lot of our loved ones know, we can be a quirky bunch. Obsessing over new soaps, razors, buying the latest scents, and all the fun that come with traditional wet shaving. My girlfriend has been totally cool with it up until today. Normally, when I shave in front of her, I will just whip up a quick lather on my face and call it a day. However, today was different.

As I was scrolling r/wetshaving this morning, she asked about the subreddit and asked why I look at other people shaving and read about it. Nothing I could say would make any logical sense to her, so I did not even try. I told her I have been doing daily challenges to win fake internet points and then asked "Are you feeling okay?" I brushed it off and then told her today was a knee lather challenge instead of face lathering. She then became very concerned for me and I saw her pick up the phone. I knew this would not be good.

Without hesitation I ran into my bathroom, locked the door, and busted out my shaving gear. As soon as I started my knee lather, I heard BANG BANG BANG and the sirens going off. My girlfriend doesn't realize how important these fake points are to me. Cops were yelling, banging on the door, and crying for me to stop, but I continued the lather. I'm still locked in my bathroom and do not plan on coming out anytime soon.
