• Brush: Paladin Chief 26mm
• Razor: Merkur 34C
• Blade: Gillette Silver Blue

• Lather: House of Mammoth - Sonder - Soap

• Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Sonder - Aftershave

Slightly stressed shave this morning after setting up my sons room for quarantine. Always disconcerting when your child curls up next to you cold and you feel him feverish. Hopefully it’s a simple flu and he didn’t share anything with us yet.

As far as the actual shave, it was the normal Sonder joy. If I hadn’t already delved so far in the rabbit hole I could be content with daily Sonder usage. It really is a fantastic scent that everyone seems to enjoy. Unfortunately I just got some more soaps and aftershaves in this weekend that are making this month last even longer. #MAMMOTHMAFIA #UNCHALLENGE

In honor of todays excitement I thought I’d share a corresponding song. Twenty One Pilots - Stressed Out fits all to well today. To be honest this song came out relatively soon after I finished college and just seemed to fit how I felt as I transitioned into a productive adult and parent. I particularly like the incorporation of giant trikes and juice boxes into the music video. They just did a nice job of capturing the feeling of being a child and just hanging out with friends.
