A while back I talked about the Dr. Squatch ads on Youtube. It's here if you want to go read about my Thoughts on Manly Soap in 2021. I did not, on my own, break down and pay seven dollars a bar for Manly Soap and I'd about given up on Smelling Like A Pirate no matter how much I think I'd enjoy that.
But.
A while ago, I rode out with the step sibling to drive home the used Ford Ranger that he purchased to replace the minivan that got stolen and kilt dead. (I have two daily drivers of the manual persuasion so I'm both competent and in current practice.) There was ample chatting en route to the truck during which he was telling me how wonderful the exfoliating grit in the Dr. Squatch soaps is. Now as for me, I do not like soap with grit, but, y'know, de gustibus non est disputandum. Since we were talking about the Dr. Squatch soaps anyway, I took it upon myself to mention my ongoing interest in smelling like a pirate and how such interest was frustrated by the distressing price point on said soap.
I was kind of making conversation and I did not expect anything to come of it, but... the step-sibling was out this weekend for the holiday and brought me... MANLY PIRATE SOAPS!!!
For whatever reason (lack of taste, or possibly lack of grit/exfoliant), the step sibling and his crotch fruit who still sorta lives at home do not like the Bay Rum flavor of either Dr. Squatch or Duke Cannon (two of the major players in the Manly Soaps for Manly Men market space) but apparently, in some sort of valu-pak marketing, wound up with them anyway.
Guess who gets to smell like a pirate? Me. I get to smell like a pirate, after all. #winning.
I am an unreasonable amount of thrilled about this.
