Random: The Ritual - A Drop Will Do Ya
Posted March 23, 2007 4:05 PM
I am one of those guys who unfortunately eats like a garbage disposal. A normal meal for me consists of meat, garnished with pork, complimented with a side of ground beef cheese potatoes. Yes, I like everything that smells, tastes, feels and rhymes with meat. Even a side of squirrel sounds good on occasion. With that said, I've had some pretty ugly episodes in the bathroom. After my morning coffee my family pretty much bitches, pisses and moans while holding down the button on the can of air freshener for an obnoxious period of time as I unload the prior day's ingestion. Big babies. Now while I'm not the least bit offended by my own smell, I am also a peace loving man, and that is where this fantastic guy gift, The Ritual comes in to save the day. Please, allow me to be clear before you continue reading...if you are in the market for gifts for him...The Ritual is a must have.

Let's begin by discussing "The Whip" which is a very nice, very old school type of shaving cream that is really reminiscent of the old days when guys applied shaving cream with a badger brush. I have extremely sensitive skin, so pretty much everything leaves my skin irritated. This item after two weeks of everyday use has left me smooth and rash-free. That leads me up to "The Balm." Again, I usually only use hypo-allergenic Cetaphil cream, but I decided to give the balm a shot. Again, shockingly, my face is rash-free and feeling great. Moving on we have "The Trifecta." Don't let the catchy name fool you. This is a terrific product that I use on my face (previously unheard of as I can barely tolerate anything but the mildest of soaps), my body and my hair. The Trifecta is mild, yet somehow has a manly essence to it. The best way I can describe it is the scent and texture reminds me of a really upscale men's country club. And I would know since I'm so filthy rich I frequent upscale clubs all the time. All right, I've been to one once when I was twelve, but I remembered that scent, damn it! We then come to the real hero of the set and that's "Nature Calls." I don't know how the inventors of this product have done what they have done, but seriously, a drop maybe two is all it takes to completely neutralize your most heinous maximus dungus. It is a freaking miracle. Seriously, the only time this item slightly failed me wasn't even the product's fault. I mean, how can I put this gently, um, it works so long as all of your dungus maximus is "IN" the water. Hopefully, I don't have to go into any more detail than that. In closing, this is a fantastic guy gift. There is also a clever "Razor Rinse" item that seems to effectively eliminate razor burn and bumps. If I could make one simple suggestion it would be to add a badger brush to this unique gift set. It would be the coupe de gras on what is already a stupendous product.
