    First of a series of Varen shaves with my current go-to travel razor while on ski break. It occurred to me that I brought this poor, ring-of-deathed Dutch soap to the least Dutch place imaginable to proceed with killing it; a mountain. Oh well.

      You can always pretend that it has been named after this lovely place. It also occurred to me that the Dutch don’t thrive in the mountains, so it seems fitting to kill it on a mountain.

        Lol, that lovely place is 16 km from where I am right now and I used to live right next to it during my internship for engineering school, which means that I should have thought of that convenient loophole.

        the Dutch don’t thrive in the mountains, so it seems fitting to kill it on a mountain.

        Like Herakles with Antaios, one must hold this Dutch soap aloft, far from its low motherlands to drain its life force 🙂

          By the way, I looked at Varen, but the following is rather frightening:

            Yeah, I talked to Rod about that. When you hear him explain it, it sounds much less scary. That being said, I had a sample puck of Varen for a long time, but that comment freaked me out enough to make me wait until Djunior was over a year old before trying it 😅
