Life On the Wee Woo Box

Not a bad start. Just focus on just skimming the lather off. Nice and light.

Ouch. I was actually looking at my Sextoblade today and thinking of breaking it out for the first time in ages. Thank you for dissuading me.

I'm glad to be of service! Haha
 
Speaking of wee woo boxes, I read Don's request for video of me I guess doing my job and did the next best thing before I went home.

This is occasionally my assigned truck and part of my finger because I'm no good at taking pictures.

Edit: I cropped my finger out because I know how to do that sometimes.
 
So have you seen the commercial with the dogs Lulu and Lobo? The one with the woo woo monster.

Today is a new day and it's my new chief's first day. Aside from that, we're starting with the usual nonsense. But it's going to be a great day.

Try two with the Weck. It went a lot better today with significantly less bloodshed. There was also significantly less irritation. Hippie sure smells what I would imagine a hippie would smell like, aside from cannabis. The scent is a strong and one dimensional out of the container, but it evens out beautifully when lathered. I have no idea where this is in the chronology of betas, but it was a strong performer and has plenty of slickness to aid in my novice attempt. Still plenty of stinging when I applied the alum, but it was better than yesterday. I didn't get as close a shave as I would've liked, but it's still a pretty good shave. Fourth and Pine was plenty soothing with just a hint of menthol.

The pomade pairs decently well with the splash because of the citrus. Easy to scoop and apply. Ben at Brew City Grooming does a few deals with B&M occasionally and I usually scoop up a jar.

The Missing Man ventures back into vintage AFI a tiny bit, which I appreciate greatly. I still prefer the older speedy hardcore punk stuff, but this wasn't too bad.

I guess I gotta go back to work. I wish you all a happy hump day.

Drink some water @GearNoir and @Dave in KY.
