Aug. 5, 2022 - Austere August 5th, With Added Beastmilk
#GEMsofWisdom This one is not shaving related for sure. The two most important life lessons for me were learned in kindergarten- 1) Never, ever, ever,ever hit a woman and 2) Never, ever, ever, ever shove a Husky Pencil up your nose. These two guiding principles have kept me on the straight and narrow for years.
Shave-wise, WTG/XTG and a clean up pass were the keys to another BBS/low aftershave feedback shave.
#RawHoggin I'm enjoying all of these posts about rotting stink of some of your brushes and how the stink is lingering on you even through your splash and frag mistings. Bless you Semogue for your lack of stink. Tips are splitting more and I'm starting to get lather where I want it with this brush and dipping the tips in water. I'm still not converting back to face lathering when this is all over.
#Sidetracked I'm going to Finland today, musically that is. I have been to Finland physically for music as well for a couple of Tuska Festivals (which were amazing) and the opportunity to see Amorphis at a club there. I've long been of the mindset that when it comes to heavier music, "If it's not Finnish, it's crrrraaappp". One of my favorite records to come out of Helsinki is Beastmilk's 2013 album, Climax. This album also might be one of my favorite albums of the last 10 years. This is a dark rock record with vocals that will give some folks a goth-y vibe and some folks a Danzig-y vibe. The songs are hooky as all get out and once you put the album on 'Play', you'll find yourself hitting 'Rewind' on many of these songs. The opening track, "Death Reflects Us", pulls you right in and sends you on quite a ride. "You Are Now Under Our Control", "Surf the Apocalypse", "Love in a Cold World" are just some of the standouts on this album. I saw them in 2014 at Tuska and they were fantastic. Sadly, they broke up after this album, with the vocalist Kvohst and the guitarist reforming under the moniker Grave Pleasures (also highly recommended). So to you u/Teufelskraft and the AA gang, here's the soundtrack to your Friday- https://beastmilk.bandcamp.com/album/climax
Have a great day all!
