In preparation for the #RawHoggin challenge, chief enGEMeer u/EldrormR and myself extrapolated from our unbleached Zenith 506U XSE brush break in eperience and expected a foul miasmic bitch fest in the first days of the challenge with vociferous and eloquent grievance airing about how offensive the manure concentrate on one's face smells and how demoralising the knowledge is to have to repeat this self flagellation the coming day. Turns out that the joke's on us and that only our particular brushes happened to come from an extra super stinky batch. C'est la vie, and we were together alone in our self-inflicted pain.
The really sad part of this story, however, is that we had prepared memes which have sadly mostly remained unused for aforementioned bitch fest, with the exception of a few pearls published by eld (pearl 1, pearl 2, pearl 3, and pearl 4). I've decided so post a few more of my favourites, since it seems unlikely that they can ever be used in the originally intended context given the overall pleasant way this challenge is unfolding (with the exception of the two early quitters).
First, a meme I had prepared for day two when some poor soul finds out that the stench has not yet relented, then a political one which I had hoped to place under some poor unscented rawhoggin Euroshaver's post who took the austerity angle a bit too serious, and finally, one prepared for u/Semaj3000 who ended up not joining in the challenge.
As far as the shave is concerned, I appreciate the simplicity of knowing that my shaving hard and software is already ready for me, and I don't have to think about any choices. However, I have collected all my samples and put them in a box for Sample September, and it has made me curious and wanting diversity. This is not a good sign only 9 days into Austere Hogust. At least the razor, brush and scent I chose for this AA are fantastic. That helps #GEMsOfWisdom
