The End of Adventus

It’s finished.

Today’s satchel had a really nice Gillette Slim Adjustable (M2/1967) razor and a sample of Summer Break Soaps Remote Learning.

Off the puck, throughout the lather, and throughout the shave, Doritos. Nacho Cheese Doritos, which is spicy, just not in the right way. I grabbed the Bond aftershave and balm and HoM Tobacconist thinking they would knock down the scent. I was wrong. They combined into a different kind of “midnight stag” bouquet. I’ve received several side-eyes from my family so far.

I contemplated stopping on pass 2 but SBS’s Doug base is really nice (odd name for a base, but better than something like ultramagic 3.1.2i, IMHO).

I really want to thank u/cowzilla3 for this PIF. This has been a wild and fun ride. He’s tremendously generous. I’ve enjoyed following along on his journey: The Great Spice Off.

Have a wonderful New Year!
