After yesterday’s challenge with the cat training, I decided to hit more familiar ground today. So I treated myself to an easy weekend project. I use Pacific Shaving Co. caffeinated aftershave everyday and 100% recommend it. I stumbled across it while looking for an eco-friendly, made in ‘Merica product and this hit all the bases. Plus, it’s caffeinated. Which is right up my alley.
I have no idea how they stumbled upon the caffeine concept, but it works. Their tagline—”Put caffeine on your mug, not in it”—works well. So they don’t necessarily need these lines, but I thought it might be fun to write them anyway.
I was kind of right. Let me know what you think in the comments.

Overall: Decent. It’s a mixed bag. There are some good lines but too many generic ones for me too feel great about it. Some are pretty bad. A few might do well in social.
Lessons: I did my best not to go overboard with the energy. This isn’t an X Games type of product. The caffeine is for redness, not for a kick in the pants. But it’s fun to play it up a little. As you’ve heard me say before, it’s a big help to write about products I use and know. Being able to draw from my own experience is gonna beat the made-up lines 9-out-of-10 times. Also, I kept defaulting to coffee—and this isn’t coffee.
Side note, I spent 9 years working for Red Bull & 5-hour Energy, so some of this felt like home.
