In memory of...

This is in memory of my Gillette Series Ultra-Comfort* Shaving Gel, which saw me through shaving for its last time today.

You've been with me through beards thick and beards thin, through razors sharp and razors dull, and every variation thereof inbetween. You've been there for me through the worst of goatees, the height of absurdity in mustaches, and all my other facial experiments, and have even humored me for a few rabid dog impressions. For this you shall be remembered. Whether in the comfort of my own home, or in a stranger's apartment, your beard-softening jojoba oil** brought me out of the most terrible trials of stubble, and left me with a clean, jojoba-smelling face.

Though your product life has reached its unexpected end, I and my face will always remember you as the best of foam-based shaving gel. You may be discarded when I can bring myself to do it, but you will never be forgotten.
