Awesome Tabac Tuesday. The smile in the R. Saito blade makes it a joy to use. It finds its way into difficult areas to shave with ease.
Tuesday, January 14, 2025: Bluesday
A pleasant bluesday shave (a la @gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social. The Bolzano blade performed really well in the Legacy razor. Quite pleased with the results.
Have a good one!
Nice and uneventful Tabac Tuesday shave. They don’t call it “Old Reliable” for nothing.
Old Reliable really worked for me this morning. Was feeling tired and grumpy and the trifecta woke me up and made me take notice. Great stuff!

14.01.2025 - Blueberries
-> 2-pass head shave. All around solid shave today, no irritation or discomfort.
I had a little craving for blueberries - recently I re-discovered a little liquid bottle that I bought during a Christmas sale with “blueberry cinnamon buns” aroma. Vaping that stuff kinda reminds me of Indigo, so I had to try that out. Oddly, there’s nothing that I associate with Christmas when it comes to blueberry and cinnamon. It’s usable all-year around for me personally.
But Indigo delivers. As always. I really think this is the more pleasant aroma with blueberries in it, but well - each are quite different mediums of delivery. Indigo is definitely darker, a bit more mysterious and smoky. Quite to my liking. Funnily enough, I have noticed now that I share the same taste for wetshaving fragrances/scents as I do with vaping e-liquids. My absolute favourite is something with tobacco in a unique blend; as well as anything dark, warm and heavy. Then come dessert gourmands: vanilla, chocolate, cookies and such. Props if it has a spicy edge. Perhaps at least equal to that, but not ahead of the dark/tobacco stuff are drink gourmands - cola, whiskey, gin and the like. Never ever too fruity and/or cloying sweet stuff. I guess my taste is an acquired one and not very easy, but at least unique.
I have somehow tweaked my back recently - it really sucks and just a few (sometimes odd) positions of sitting and lying down are without discomfort. I hope to get it back in working order soon - time to hit the foam roller again…
Hope your back feels better soon!
Thanks! I guess it’s a signal of my body that I am not doing enough to keep my back healthy.

Pretty great, except this blade is pretty much done. I took a break from killing Caoba because that tub is now packed away in my suitcase for my trip to Atlanta for training. I also packed my envelope of soap from @gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social for use tomorrow. Woot!
You & I (Will Die) has really grown on me. Once I found out that the volatile hit up front was “floral” I found a new respect for it. Of my Mammoth tubs, of which I have 3, it’s my favorite. I still want a tub of Voices if Ben ever changes the label on it (which might happen now that Lather Talk has ended?).
I finally did a tele-health call today, since I’ve been sick on and off (more on than off) for well over a month now. The doctor on the phone was like “uh, yeah, usually we tell people to wait 10 days, so you’re well past that”. It was a super fast call, and I already have some antibiotics in me doing their thing. Yahoo!

Hope you feel better soon. I have a tendency to put off seeing doctors. I should work on that.

Thanks! This whole time has been pretty mild. Still working, etc. That’s probably why it’s so widespread here - everyone is going about their day with whatever virus.
