Auld Stank Syne Thu Oct 31 2024
The year of the Stank® 2024 is over, the TabOKtoberfest festivities are winding down, and Stanksgiving is upon us. Today's Stanklebration was a dignified, somber, and bittersweet affair. Bittersweet because the wonderful Böker 14er is smooth, the Stank® is glorious, the brush is luxurious, the lather is slick, the routine is on point. Everything is as good as it's gonna get, but at the same time, routine is starting to turn into monotony and it's time to move on.
BBS November will be a nice change of pace and I have the first 14 SOTDs already set up. I'm looking forward to mixing it up both hardware and software wise.
I had a solid plan for BBS November. It has been sidetracked twice. So, a free-for-all where shaving is concerned :)
Oh, I hope nothing bad happened!
No, I have some travel coming up and a visit from my daughter. I could plan shaves that were intolerant of these types of events, but I'm OK with Just In Time Scheduling.
Ah good!
