"Man is born free and everywhere is in chains."
The famous opening line of Rousseau provides the metaphor here, perhaps in an unexpected way. It's a glorious first sentence; but the work pretty much goes to pot from there; and there is much less shave content in The Social Contract than would you hope.
So. You've been warned. You really only have yourself to blame if you continue reading. It won't get any better. Might be polemical. Illustrations lacking. And page after page with so little about shaving.
The main point for me is that I don't contaminate other threads with off topic unhelpful nonsense that tries too hard to be amusing. Need to stop that. But do want to participate. Not yet persuaded that the impulse is all or mostly bad.
OK. Part journal. Part self-containment thread.
Beginning at the beginning.
Not really satisfied with the title I've selected. Gave hard looks at, "For Digressors Only," "Digressors Anon.," and "Your Digression is Appreciated." Then I lost my train of thought.
I blame the auto-spell check warning me that "digressor" is not a word. Distracted me. It could be right. And yeah. I could try "-er," but if that doesn't work, what then?
Where was I?
Pleasant shave today with Fatip OC piccolo in nickel. I think the blade was a nacet, might have been a GSB. Indistinguishable to me in this razor. One razor might give a slight nod to one blade or another, but these blades work well for me in everything I use.
Spent a solid 2 minutes working the WMS lather and wondered how people do this every day. Not use WMS. I get that. I mean spend 2 minutes plus developing the lather. It's nice to linger, don't get me wrong.
Made a mess. Cleaned it up. These pucks last me forever. Still tickled that someone can wipe one of these suckers out in less than a month. My goodness. Did I do that?
Reminds me of a little girl professing no knowledge of who might have got into mommy's cosmetics despite being covered, along with walls and a pet, with lipstick. You just have to admire that.
Aftershave splash and then applied a moisturizer. No SPF? Were they raised in a barn?
Where was I. Oh. I meant to tell you. It is spelled "digresser." Damn. Spell check is fascism.
