Backpacks of every size feel oversized to me but perhaps just categorically lack the single-shoulder grace I'm used to

I think “discover” would have been better there than “explore,” but it doesn’t really matter in light of the coinage

mint seems safe enough. rosemary sounds suspiciously girly.

Just drop the rosemary into a pint of whiskey imo, very refreshing while felling a tree to provide firewood for your family

I was in a sporting goods store the other day and they had a whole display of Duke Cannon products.
https://dukecannon.com/
Duke Cannon hails from a simpler time. A time when the term handyman was redundant. A time when chivalry and patriotism weren’t considered old- fashioned. A time when you never put the word salad next to bar.But something happened along the way. Men were encouraged to put down their lug wrenches and pick up their phones to hashtag for help. Substance was replaced by the flash of guys taking selfies. And instead of getting up before dawn to build railroads, men started going to the gym at 9 a.m. to ride pretend bicycles.As any historian worth his salt will tell you, this country was built by folks with a sense of purpose. Duke Cannon’s purpose is simple: to make superior-quality grooming goods that meet the high standards of hard-working men. Our products are tested by soldiers, not boy bands. And they’re made in a little place we like to call the United States of America.We value things like hard work, family, community, bacon and country; we champion builders, creators, sledge hammerers, holders of doors and fixers of toilets; we have the utmost respect for teachers and farmers and soldiers and first responders—so it’s no wonder good folks feel right at home in Duke Cannon Country.

Barf. Also, teachers??? I mean I love teachers and think they should get paid a million bucks and we should listen to them more, but out of that line up, one of these things is not like the other.

They sell a soap-on-a-rope product that makes prison rape jokes on the packaging and also refers to the nylon cord as "military grade" so I think we're done here.

I came across a display of that stuff one night, pulled out my phone's camera for this thread and then... decided that really, I just wanted to forget that I had ever bore witness to such a thing.

customer review for the 4-count variety pack of "Big Ass Bricks of Soap" titled:
"It's nice to no longer be tied to either old spice or Axe, the scents smell good, quite frankly amazing, but masculine at the same time. I feel like Axe or Old Spice are for boys, make em' feel confident by practically bathing in their products like cologne.....but Duke Cannon? That's a man's product."

I got a letter from a pair of realtors who sold a house down the street advertising their services and they had "realtor bros" branding. They're actual brothers and probably are going for the Property Brothers association, except... they both looked super bro on their cards
now I'm worried some bros moved in down the block in some sort of "for bros by bros" deal

I have ignored duke cannon’s marketing in order to try out their giant bar soap and, unsurprisingly, it doesn’t come close to Pré de Provence or whatever big chunky herbal / oatmeal bar soap you care to try from your local farmers market / organic grocer

"Duke Cannon’s premium grooming goods will not get you laid, and they won’t make you more manly. They promise only to you get you clean, smelling, and feeling good. Your masculinity is not defined by the brands you use but by the actions you take. The Duke Cannon brand is FOR decent, hard-working men; it doesn’t help create them."
such mixed messaging

We share some of the bar soap, that’s about it. I always prefer exfoliating stuff, she usually doesn’t. I use Mane & Tail, she has hair that actually requires attention. We have three of the same type of hairbrush but I’ve gone ahead and labeled the back of each one with a white paint pen, that’s probably the most indicative detail here.

i don't like to use my gf's products because they're usually more expensive and she buys them. i share her sunscreen and moisturizer if she has bought a cheaper one. and i use cheap shower gel and head and shoulders and sunscreen and salicylic acid for my zittiness and that's it.
