Theme justification: Myself, u/BossHoggins10, u/djundjila, and u/sahenders all shaved with SSL.
In fact @BossHoggins10@sub.wetshaving.social and I used essentially the same setup. CF TI Legacy, Gillette Silver Blue blades, uncoined RDC handles with synth knots, and SSL. I don't own the SSL frag, so I had to go with something else instead.
Daily challenge: It isn't easy to single out just a few folks to thank; the entire community has been, for the most part, extremely friendly and welcoming since I wandered in.
Thanks to @BossHoggins10@sub.wetshaving.social and u/KerblimeySkal for answering many questions and always being down to screw around on discord.
Thanks to @walden@sub.wetshaving.social for running sub.wetshaving.social, creating SDS, and just being a friendly guy.
Thanks u/JoboozeRum for many samples, smushes, much shit talk on discord.
Thanks to @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social for everything you do for this community and for the games.
Thanks @gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social and @whosgotthepudding@sub.wetshaving.social for your vast straight and sharpening knowledge. You're both a great source of guidance for the sub.
Thanks u/raymoonie for running a great podcast. I think the community really appreciates it.
Thanks u/socialkittielynx for swapping smushes and nerding out on scents with me.
Thanks to @EldrormR@sub.wetshaving.social for enabling me by finding and cleaning up such nice vintage razors.
Thanks u/frankieIVfinge for trying to help me find the perfect anise.
Thanks to all of you for helping make this place such a great community. There truly are too many to thank individually!
And a special thanks to the sub.wetshaving.social community. ❤️
$FOF - SSL works very nicely with the petit grain, lavender, rosemary, thyme, and lemon of Jean Marie Farina EdC. The spiciness of SSL softens really nicely with the herbs in the frag.
I love this fragrance, I just wish it lasted for longer. Though it's hard to complain at such a reasonable price.
$SELFCARE - I pulled a muscle in my back this morning while doing a sprint workout. Instead of toughing it out and staying at the office all day, I left early and spent the afternoon working from home in bed with my cats. :)

I’m always down for monkeying around on discord🐒
