June 5th, 2025: I Want To Be The Very Zest

  • Brush: AP Shave Co. - Silksmoke Synthetic
  • Razor: GEM - Micromatic Clog-Pruf
  • Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (5)

  • Fragrance: Acqua di Parma - Blue Mediterraneo - Fico di Amalfi - EdT

Theme justification: Limes, bergamot, Italian citrus, and the delicate citrus + fig of AdP Fico di Amalfi. Citrus shines throughout. $FOF

Daily challenge: I think I saw one or two folks with the same idea, but my proposed theme is "Drought Day" ("Water Shortage Wednesday?" "Soy Boy Saturday?") -- make your lather with anything but water.

This evening, to conserve water, I made my lather with 365 Brands soy milk instead of water. As a coastal elite in California, I'm obligated to shop at Whole Foods while also complaining about how Amazon is ruining America. To complain about DOGE while also driving a Tesla. Virtues, signals, and all that jazz.

Soy milk made an alright, but thick, lather. I've never had my Clog-Pruf clog up with hair and soap before. I guess they weren't thinking of us Soy Boys when they designed this razor, smh my head.

Today I got out for an early run before work and managed to keep an easy pace throughout. Historically, it's difficult for me to run slowly, even though I know it's good for my recovery and for building endurance. The legs just want to go fast. I'm glad I did, because the rest of the day was very busy and exhausting. $SELFCARE
