A minty fresh Wednesday shave. Don’t rhyme as well as it would have done on Monday, but it felt great on a muggy morning.
Because yesterday I went to an actual barbershop and got a straight razor shave, that’s why. My cheeks are still smooth 28 hours later, and my skull is practically gleaming.
The whole thing was – as usual – most enjoyable. And left me with no need to shave the day after.
