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.
