SOTD - 2025-12-31: Adventus Calendar
Indoctrination status:
[D̾O̾N̾E̾]The End of Adventus
It's finished.
Today's satchel had a really nice Gillette Slim Adjustable (M2/1967) razor and a sample of Summer Break Soaps Remote Learning.
Off the puck, throughout the lather, and throughout the shave, Doritos. Nacho Cheese Doritos, which is spicy, just not in the right way. I grabbed the Bond aftershave and balm and HoM Tobacconist thinking they would knock down the scent. I was wrong. They combined into a different kind of "midnight stag" bouquet. I've received several side-eyes from my family so far.
I contemplated stopping on pass 2 but SBS's Doug base is really nice (odd name for a base, but better than something like ultramagic 3.1.2i, IMHO).
I really want to thank u/cowzilla3 for this PIF. This has been a wild and fun ride. He's tremendously generous. I've enjoyed following along on his journey: The Great Spice Off.
Have a wonderful New Year!
Great series! I enjoyed following along. Have a Happy New Year!
So a combination of nacho chips, cigarettes and whisky. Sounds like one of my old Saturday nights 😆 A wonderful New Year to you too! Really enjoyed those write-ups 👍
Exactly! Thanks again have a great new year!
