Shave+Daily Challenge

You know a MrTangerinesky post is going to be epic when it starts off with a VIDEO. You can watch it now or after reading, I have no idea which will be more entertaining.

Yesterday, when I saw what the daily challenge was I groaned a bit, cause for today I really didn't have the time or was feeling like shaving outside. My whole day was booked, so I left it for the evening....

Now any normal man would just go outside in the near park and do a shave or something like that, but noooooo I had to be fancy. So off I went to the mountains 30 miles above the capital to a place I've been there before.

My idea was this. Go to that place in the forest, there's a creek there(I called it a river in the video, sorry), go in the creek, submerge myself up to the neck and shave, hopefully record it.

Good plan? Right? Well on paper it seemed great. There was one thing I had forgotten... my irrational fear of the dark. The more I drove up the mountain, the more the realization set in, but it really cemented itself, when I stepped out of the car, it was way scarier than I expected it to be, mind you there is a camping site quite near so it's not like so it's not safe, but irrational fear is irrational fear. Nonetheless I mustered up the courage took the phone and shot what I shot.

What I didn't take a video of, cause I really couldn't figure out how or WHERE to put the camera, was 1 or 2 minutes which seemed like an eternity of me sitting in the shallow bed of a creek, feeling cold I had not felt before, in places I had not felt before and trying to do something that is shaving. My memory, due to the stress from the cold is fuzzy, but I remember dipping the brush in the water, swirling it frantically on my face and then doing a one pass shave and jumping out as quickly as possible, I have no idea how I had planned to submerge my whole body earlier during the day.

Oh yeah all of this happened almost in the dark, because I could not put the phone near me so that added great effect to the experience. I can just imagine if there was a commando somewhere with night vision, looking at a guy, sitting in a creek shaking, brush in one hand, razor in the other(I couldn't leave them anywhere, cause darkness), screaming how cold it is, probably would be pretty funny for the guy.

If nothing else I got a great SOTD picture!
