Killing Varen: Operation Inferno
Inferno, noun: from Latin, "between ferns".
Can't keep beating around the bush, I need to kill off some stuff, and some stuff is this tub of Varen. Until it's killed, my shaves will be using exclusively green parafernalia: Green Varen, green Weinstrasse frag, green Stirling brush, and razors with green fernishings. (Today, the kamisori with the green paracord grip wrap.)
I flattened the remaining soap to cover the bottom of the tub and I was left with a ring of death about the size of a Fünfliber, so this might be over rather soon.
On a side note, I've also decide to start killing off my almost empty whiskey bottles, and yesterday was the death knell for this bottle of Cragganmore (the Chiseled Face Banana of single malts. u/J33pGuy13 would have approved).
