Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts Tabak Oridjinal, now with 28 mm Gelousy knot
Razor: Dovo 41 Inox
Lather: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original
Post Shave: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original
Fragrance: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original

Tough morning today, nursing a hangover and getting ready for the commute to work. Even though nice, a shave doesn’t help take the edge off. I’m annoyed that I can’t have a social life and wake up rested and refreshed the next morning anymore. Getting old --;

I like this little spartan Dovo. No frills, 5/8", round point. Stainless steel blade and scales. Utilitarian. I reminds be of the US army medical Weck Sextoblade, which I also enjoy. It’s a pity that Dovo has discontinued these and instead produces decorated pretend-fancy razors like the Runde Sache.

Ah, that sucks a lot. Suffering through a day of work with a massive hangover is no joke… unfortunately I know this too well.

Getting old –

Hey, looking at the bright side: getting old beats the alternative of dying too young.
But I catch your drift. A few people always told me that it’ll gradually turn worse once you hit 30, and damn - some days they were damn right. 😮‍💨

  beats the alternative
  
  Definitely!
  
  once you hit 30
  
  I don’t know. I think I felt young until 40. Now, not so much😅

    I guess it’s more the creeping realisation that you’re now perceived as “old” by younger folks (teens, young adults) and that you’re noticing signs of aging that set in at 30. Also, crippling back and neck pain but that could just be related to my field of work 🤔

    Yeah, that’s right. In my field of work at the time, at age 30, you just about finished you PhD and were considered to be at the very beginning of your career. That helped keeping up the illusion of youth 😅
    
    Now that I have experienced professionals in my team that are 10 years younger than me, the perception changes.
