  * Post Shave: Zingari Man - The Master

1 pass on the head as well as one each for neckline and cheek lines. A bit of a rough shave yet again, don’t know how old this blade is.

One of my few rare GEM SE razor shaves. Especially with this gold-plated razor, it’s probably getting the fewest uses out of the bunch. Unfortunately the head shave wasn’t so nice, I thought one day off would allow my skin to heal, but nope. It scraped up a few of the old weepers. Thankfully, only a bit - so no alum block was required. The end result was rather close, but less comfortable. Same for my neck.
Btw, by reading neckline and cheek lines you can probably guess that the henriquatre is no more. Actually, for a few days already. I simply obsessed too much about perfect straight lines and my short stubble allows me to appreciate imperfections much better. It’s still kinda hard for my inner perfectionist, but hey, I rocked a job interview like this.

Speaking of the job interview, it went well. Really interesting workplace and they’d hire me on January 1st if everything fits. I have an appointment for a “hospitation day” next Tuesday, to see if I can get along with this kind of work and the potential colleagues of this station. So far, so good. The Monday before is yet another job interview, so I actually have two places to compare. I’ll try to leave my best impression so that ideally, both places would want to hire me and it’s up to my decision what I choose.
