04.11.2024 - MMMMFF Tobacco
1 pass face shave to get back into the swing of things while still giving my face a bit rest after yesterday's rough shave. Comfortable shave but not close at all.
Oh look, Dave has done the MMMMFF thing despite his aversion to themed shaves! Yeah, sometimes a little nostalgia is all it takes to get me going. Tobacconist was great as always, the Flying Wing is perhaps the GEM razor with the best handle in terms of ergonomics for me and it's a pretty mild but efficient shaver.
I realized today that I totally lack any balms or toners with tobacco... I should change that. Weird justification for impulse buying? Maybe. It'll suffice though. π€
Yayy π
Booo ππ
This is the way π
Tobacconist ++;
MMMMFF is cool, I could see myself doing it more often; gives me something to look forward to on Mondays. Need more HoM though.
I know you pretty much run on themed shave days and even months (TabOKtoberfest, BBS November, Destroy your Dermis December etc.) but I'm frankly too inconsistent with my shaves to remember...
Ah the joys of wetshaving, a classic "I definitely don't need it, but I surely want it" hobby π
Destroy your Dermis December?. Interesting, go on π€π€
Just rub a cartridge against your face until the hair is gone?
I'd say you shave half of your face (or head) 3+ times per day. Goal is to look like Harvey (NSFW) by New Year's Eve π€―
