Father's Day: Day 15 of Lather Games
Theme justification: Everything's on theme here. Pennellificio Pandolfo (the family business producing Zenith brushes) was founded it 1902, Victoria (today's name: Victorinox) was founded in 1884 (under the name Messerfabrik Carl Elsener), Palmolive's company in 1864, Olivin, the company behnd the brand Hâttric was founded in the early 1940's (they are vague, which for a German company in that time is... concerning), and Creed was founded as a tailor shop in 1710. I was born after the 1940s.
Swiss Father's Day was two weeks ago on LG opening day, and I celebrated it with a big dry-aged rib steak. Today, I'm using by Victoria razor: under its new name, Victorinox, many Swiss men have an almost personal connection to this brand. At some point in elementary school, your parents (typically your dad) will decide that you're old enough to get your own Swiss army knife from Victorinox. It's one of those "big boy" moments in early childhood. This first army knife lasts usually until your teenage years when suddenly, you "need" one with a cork screw. A bit later in boot camp, you're issued your official Swiss army knife along with your personal assault rifle (you use its screw driver to adjust the sights). By this time, having a Victorinox knife in your pocket is just normal for me. When leaving home, I pat my pockets in a quick phone-wallet-keys-knife check, and it all started with my first knife that my father gave be some 35 years ago.
Today's challenge: I got up before my wife and djunior, made coffee, listened to my podcasts and had a nice shave. Robes and candles wouldn't help me relax more.
