I’m really enjoying the loaner Alumigoose. It’s a damn shame it’s out of production. I’m also starting to make my peace with the high loft of the Gelousy knot.

Good shave. This scent usually stays strong throughout the day. It’s not my favourite soap or splash but it works.

2 passes. Bowl lather. Excellent shave.
Great shave. This scent feels nostalgic for me. The cream quality is so-so by current wetshaving hobbyist standards, but it lathers easily and is certainly slick enough for shaving.

I am as well. I noticed that he is moving his soaps to the Highland base. That base starts out softer. I didn’t dare bowl lather it for the first few shaves.

Hungover head shave. Normally I wouldn’t shave in such a state, but I need to look presentable tomorrow. Took the easy approach and used a disposable razor for just one pass.
The surprise farewell party for my friend yesterday was a blast. What a great evening… Unfortunately, I had a bit too much alcohol. Slept at another friend’s place on a pretty uncomfortable bed. So it was a day of sitting in nursing school with sunglasses today. And pretty terrible neck pain. But that’s worth it for the best colleague we ever had! I’m still a bit overwhelmed with a mix of emotions, but overall it was a huge success.
In other news, I trimmed off my moustache today. I made it the same length as the stubble I usually wear, so I sport a very short stubble beard now. Kinda want to look younger, but I guess I’ll grow everything a bit longer to contrast my bald dome… It feels pretty unusual to look in a mirror now. Then again, that was also the feeling I had when I first shaved my receding hair off. I’ll see what others will say about this new look and how I feel and go from there.
