I'm almost out of soap. Last two shaves including today have been downright miserable as I can barely build a lather and I am scrubbing my face like hell to get something going. I am at a crossroads. I remain the Iceman.

#SIDETRACKED (u/Teufelskraft)

Cross Road Blues by Robert Johnson. I have had two bad shaves in a row and I am at a crossroads with my soap set up, so here's the on point song of the day. Robert Johnson is another blues legend that people should be acquainted with.

I am unbelievably happy to be back in my own house, my own bathroom, showering with my own shampoo, etc. No more mediocre travel shaves either. Today was great. Maybe I figured out how to lather, maybe it was my own shower, or maybe I just used more soap. Regardless, I’m happy. /#UNCHALLENGE
