Christmas list

A co-worker pointed me to BeardBrand [1] for some awesome mustache wax [2]. Clubman [3] has gotten me through the better part of a year, to be sure, but the vagaries of winter condensation/freezing/reheating can quickly turn a well waxed mustache into something that looks like oozing snotpuss on one’s upper lip.

If you leave it alone, it dries and holds alright. That’s usually not an option however. So if you clean it up then you get ragged/frayed appearance that looks worse than letting the whiskers free range in the first place. This is a harder wax that should weather the weather better.

The added bonus is watching the informational videos. Certainly tapping into the Dollar Shave Club [4] aesthetic.

So, yeah, I’ve got new fodder for the Christmas list. Lots of awesome to be found there.

And for today’s ear worm: Sit tight and listen keenly while I play for you a little brand new musical biscuit.

Big Audio Dynamite – C’mon Every Beatbox

This is one of those moments where I suddenly remember in great detail an album I played into the ground but haven’t thought of in probably more than a decade. Damn I loved the hell out of this album. Listening to it now I find it hard to believe that this was put out in 1986.
