#UNCHALLENGE
Okay, today was an excellent 3 pass + cleanup shave. With a proper 24 hours worth of growth on my face this razor, blade, brush and soap set up performs as it should. BBS, no irritation. There hasn't been any Arctique remaining in my soap for approx. 4 shaves at this point, but I am making a dent in the MitA which is good. Can't believe we're almost to the end. All you StagBois go crazy these next two days, y'all hear? I remain The Iceman.
#SIDETRACKED (u/Teufelskraft)
Going to California by Led Zeppelin.
When I first met my wife in graduate school the aux function for music in my car didn't work so I ran an old OG ipod via usb into the system and played a set list of music that I had limited ability to update. I used to listed to a lot of LZ, and my wife's car sucked, so we drove in mine all the time and listened to my music, especially LZ. This song never fails to bring a smile to my face. The softeness of the guitar, John Paul Jones stringing the mandolin, it just all works.
