June 4th, 2025: Complementary Non-Dickhole Day
Theme Justification: None of these products are from the same line, but all complement each other quite well. The single anisic lavender note from HAGS Valley of Abyss sets up a nice contrast with the bright, floral Wallflower splash. Lavender, Interrupted finishes out the progression with a warm, complex, and beautifully comforting glow. It truly is a great evening scent that I'd recommend everyone try at least once. $FOF
Challenge: I didn't think I'd be able to pull it off, but I eventually convinced my wife to shave my face with her non-dominant (left) hand. We edited the video for brevity, but some of her comments are priceless and had to be left in. She was only up for the WTG pass, so I finished my last two passes with my non-dominant (left) hand.
Video proof
Brush
Self care: Today was a rest day from running, so I spent time this afternoon doing some hip strengthening exercises and stretching. It's crucial to maintain general conditioning and mobility to prevent injury, especially as I've grown older. $SELFCARE

Ha, what a trooper. Even more so if there was a blade in the razor.
There was most definitely a blade in the razor.
