  • End of Movember

    Thanks to my donors, my stonkingly ill-advised facial hair raised over $1000 for men’s health and prostate cancer research at Movember.

    Man, it feels strange to shave again. Especially on my chin, which hasn’t seen sunlight since around 2003.

  • mercifully gore free

    So I shaved with an open razor for the first time today. Not a proper hollow-ground steel, but a shavette, which is a handle that takes regular rzor blades split in half. With only one tiny cut, I managed to kinda get a proper shave, but it was slow. The ergonomics of it are weird; to hold it comfortably, you can barely see the blade in the mirror.

    I had to finish off shaving with my regular Merkur.
