Yet another lame two pass night shave, you might think. What can I say? Life's very busy ATM but I'm still committed to my Stag setup 100%. I already did my MMOC headshave earlier today because my dad picked me up for work - my car is at the workshop currently, the brakes on the right side have deteriorated massively to the point that continued driving would be unsafe. 600€ of repairs according to my mechanic, but at least I can fetch it tomorrow already. Also need to visit my future nursing school for giving them a few important documents.
While others would put on a fancy cologne for such an occasion, I plan to use 3 sprays of my VoA EDP just to assert dominance. I really love the scent of Stag and VoA combined - gives me a much needed confidence boost every day!
The Tadé continues to be going well. Today I really took an effort to splay it more while face lathering - btw, to all those who say face lathering sucks because it's so unreliable and hurts your poor little skin: suck it up, buttercup. While others have ultra precision loading, GUTL, SCUTTLE or TRUTL, my method is simply FTSAJPIOYF for: Fuck that shit and just put it on your face!

Sidetracked
Rhino Bucket - Going down tonight
This is music very fitting for my daily scent as well as my current car situation: Rhino Bucket play straightforward classic hard rock, the kind of rock that's blasted loudly in a gritty mechanic's garage with titty calendars decorating every single wall. They're a bit akin to more popular bands like AC/DC, but still original enough for me. Found this song on a sampler CD that came with a Classic Rock magazine and it's one of those random discoveries I really treasure. Much like every ping I get for my sidetracked challenge: you folks are awesome and I feel very proud that you seem to enjoy this little addition to break up the Austere August monotony!
