16.12.2024 - Monday comfort shave
-> 1 pass on the head plus some buffing in hard-to-get places. Just WTG, not very close but really comfortable.
Just a short shave I did before my late shift and yet again forgot to post... Today was rather stressful, despite the late shift I had to get up early to help my landlord/s (two brothers) and the heating company to fix our heating system. Well, 'helping' is a bit ovestated in this case - I told them what happened in my flat, let them in, they checked everything once, talked with me and seemed to have easily fixed everything in our whole apartment complex by cleaning the pipes. Now it's working, it's warm again and I am happy.
I was in the mood for a comforting shave before work, and since I saw @djundjila posting a nice leather-themed SOTD I wanted to follow along. Unfortunately I forgot to use a leather fragrance, but there should be enough other opportunities this winter.
Cuir et Epices (I still can't get the proper name right, sorry my french is shite) is a warm leather scent mixed with spices. It's as comfortable as an old armchair and a real pleasure to use: lathers very fast, smells great, works wonders. Of course the Thorn is also a very easy autopilot razor for me, so it was all in all very relaxed today.
Monday is done! I really look forward to when everyone else stays at home for the holidays. The streets are packed atm and I really would appreciate getting to work faster. Hope everyone else here can have some peace & quiet on the holiday season!
