This shave was actually started two minutes before midnight. I felt pretty beat up after yet another stressful day, but I don't want to quit AA. I don't want to disappoint my fellow horsemen nor Stagolytes and neither u/EldrormR who said he enjoyed reading and seeing my NOS vintage boar break-in. Cheers to all of you - I won't break down!!!
Quick and easy two pass WTG shave. Just nice and easy to wind down and relax. Since my SOTN picture contains all items after they've been used (so a wet brush), here's a close-up of the dry brush! You see that? Nicely splitting hairs, the knot slowly fluffing up even more. It's still loosing bristles, but not too many at once. I think I had about 3 today.
Sidetracked
Now, a lot of stress lately is of a more positive nature due to my retraining starting soon. I want to share a song that really helps me to embrace something new; be it single life after a breakup, be it a change of jobs or departments/wards or simply a new step in my life: KANO - Another Life . Italo Disco, so a fancy dolce vita version of synthpop. Many of you might remember the very bright music video. I love how the singer puts so much energy in his performance though - something sung with passion is just so great. Tomorrow, I will tell you more, uncover my new Stag shrine and do a celebratory shave with my Stag setup. Stay tuned!
