Right of passage, shaving

To me shaving is a ritual. Something sacred. Something you take your time with immense pleasure. It is something not to be rushed. The reward is having your face soft and supple like babies bottoms. 

When I was younger with a laughable budget. Shaving was a chore. Something you needed to do to look presentable. But as I grew older, I learned about Bbq, Mancave and grooming. I transformed into, well a modern man. 

Well groomed, smelling nice and taking care of myself. You see ladies do it. Why not us guys. Hi 

It was not easy buying the shaving stuff that needed. But inspiration came from many ideas from fellow YouTubers. 

Bowls from Aeon Jusco Nilai. RM5 each. The brush from Body Shop about RM60++. The Gillette is just simply awesome. Safety Razor is so painful to use. Many nicks and cuts. I think it is more meant for man with ingrown hair. 


The soap is handmade from Sunway Pyramid. RM25. Smells great and soft on the face with a hint of sandalwood. There is such a contrast between the color of the soap and the bowl. Mesmerizing all the same


Saw many videos on YouTube on the art of shaving. Such a fascinating process of the soap being stirred into a soapy foamy bubbly form. The art is knowing when the foam is sufficiently mixed to be applied onto the face.

My blade arsenal - fusion and safety razor. The Gillette is pure gold. Smooth as silk. The safety razor. Well, hmmmm. Be prepared for cuts and more cuts


Also in my arsenal is a Scholl foot file and nose hair trimmer


Your ritual will not be complete without some Yankee Candle


Real pleasant smell while you shave





Blogging on my IPhone

Readers,

Long hiatus I must apologize. This was due to my incompetence to use the iPad to upload pictures which were on my mobile. Anyhow, after watching many YouTube videos to no avail, I messed around and walaaaaaaa. This is my second post from my iPhone. 

The first was posted earlier today. 

Continuing on t jokes.

EDC jokes

Dear Readers,

EDC seems to be the trend nowadays. There is a huge following and sharing of ones EDC on FB, YouTube and many blogs. Say what you may about folks that carry EDC but the fact of the matter is that we have all (including me) been in a situation where we needed to do something and you end up pondering hard why didn’t bring my EDC multitool. 

Simple situation. Needing to open a toy you just purchased from Toys ‘R’ Us and its tied tighter than a bondage porn scene. Oh! My EDC knife is at home. It was too heavy or bulky to bring. There you go. Everyday situation. 

Received this picture from one of my EDC knife friends
