2 passes on the face, one on the head. Yep, I switched my usual order today - but didn’t like it at all. Face got a few blood spots out of nowhere on the second pass - weird thing is that they didn’t even hurt. I probably need to give it a day of rest tomorrow.

Third tobacco soap now - FMoM is a fairly recent addition to my collection but an instant favourite. This is a very sophisticated tobacco - usually it’s hard to emulate the dry, cigar leaf scent so most just go with floral tobacco. B&M actually did it very great though… I love it.

Now to address the elephant in the room: of course I am also deeply disappointed by the election results and like most of you, hoped for a different outcome. Regardless, it was a democratic election. The will of the people needs to be respected… but damn: I feel awful for all those who are LGBTQ+, immigrants, POC, disabled or part of another minority group. Do me a favour and look out for those people as well as for each other. It’s the best thing to do in tough times.
Germany will face a general election next year… while Scholz was definitely bad, I really hope we don’t get our version of a despot then.
