#SIDETRACKED (u/Teufelskraft)

Quick write up today as I am underwater at work. Two songs for everybody's listening pleasure:

Voices by Joshua Ray Walker; and

25 and Wastin' Time by Vincent Neil Emerson

If you are a fan of alt-country, of guys like Sturgill Simpson, Tyler Childers, and Colter Wall, then you should get to know these two guys as well. Both are out of Texas. Both have a great sound.

That is all for today. Happy Hump Day to all.

• Prep: Shower
• Brush: Paladin Chief 26mm
• Razor: Merkur 34C
• Blade: Gillette Silver Blue

• Lather: House of Mammoth - Sonder - Soap

• Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Sonder - Aftershave

As I have relatively recently begun my decent into the rabbit hole, my son has been rather intrigued with my purchases. Last night he asked me, dad why do you like shaving? It took me a minute to try to put it into words. I did my best to explain the scents and the feel. I even tried to explain the simple pleasures of taking just a little bit of time to take care of yourself. Admittedly I probably butchered the answer, but it did give me a chance to think and reflect on the joy it gave me. So today as I whipped up my lather and took my time to enjoy a nice shave it made me smile just a little more as I enjoyed everything I had told my son the night before. #MAMMOTHMAFIA #UNCHALLENGE

• Lather: Barrister and Mann - Nordost - Soap

• Post Shave: Zingari - Unscented - Balm

A third of the way there. I’ve been playing around with making the lather different consistencies to change it up. It’s surprising, I feel whatever I do it’s a pretty similar shave. Perhaps it’s the foolproof omnibus base, perhaps it’s my lack of technique overall. Regardless, I would have to call it an /#UNCHALLENGE
