A few new things to the den today, but I'll get to that in a bit after my work debriefing. Guys, under no circumstances is it acceptable to stab your younger brother in the arm and push him out of your car. I know he's super annoying, but violence isn't the answer unless you're performing a power bomb on that son of a gun.
We're using Terror for the first time today and I haven't heard a whole lot of wowing things about the advertised freezing cold sensation before today. It smells alright. But judging by the scent off the puck
@Spider won't like it. I don't think I've smelled frankincense before, but I'm pretty sure that's what I'm smelling. I don't mind it, but KJ isn't a fan of it; he's getting the promised sample anyway because I already scooped it out. Deal with it.
The shave!
I overloaded the brush because why not. The scent opened up a little and the peppermint became a little more pronounced to even out the frankincense. I did the usual face lather and the cold gradually came on. I wouldn't say that it's freezing cold by any means, but it is a very comfortable cold sensation that gives me that tingling cold sensation that I get when it gets below freezing and the wind chill is about 20 colder than that. I enjoyed it very much. An easy three passes with the jectah with one tiny weeper probably from the last bit of acne I got from a few days ago. The performance was what you would expect from the excelsior base which means that there is absolutely no menthol in this soap and the advertised synthetic menthol is probably WS-23. The samples that I'm sending out either today or tomorrow took about a third of the container, so I'm probably going to buy another set because I quite enjoyed Terror. Anyway, DFS+.
I've been a fan of Childish Gambino since college. This particular album took a while to grow on me, but I really enjoy the variety of composition. It's a more matured sound from his previous works with more mature lyrics that consists of more than just telling the haters to buzz off.
I have a couple of errands to do, but I'll get to them after my nap. Thanks for reading and have a great day.
