Post Shave: Thayer’s Aloe Vera toner; Natura Siberica ASB gel
Fragrance: Bois 1920 - Oro Nero EdP sample
Phew, almost forgot my SOTD post again… It was a very busy day.
A quick head shave I did after a very fast shopping trip. One pass + cleanup with the HB. One nick due to being too rushed. Seriously, f**k cartridge razor systems. Other than that minor inconvenience, I was surprised by the quality lather I got out of Speick cream. Very slick and nice.
The final decision on the EdP is: pass. It fades to a boring vanilla scent and I got absolutely zero positive responses about it. Totally not my style… The nice similarities to Interlude Man by Amouage last too short. And I wore it all evening…
So today I went to print my pictures with my colleagues, then visited my parents in the afternoon for a coffee to celebrate dad’s 57th birthday (we have a rather difficult relationship and it went surprisingly well for that). Then in the evening, I drove to my old nursing home one last time to celebrate with my colleagues. Originally, we had a Christmas party planned for last week’s Friday which was cancelled. So we did a “Year’s End party” today instead - which also turned out to be a farwell party for me! I was very surprised by all the warm words and the many gifts they gave me. Seriously, I had to hold back tears… It’s not an easy time for me atm, but they did the best they could to give me a proper and dignified farewell. I’m so grateful that in the short time were I worked on their station (only transferred there in September of last year) I was able to make some new friends who wholeheartedly accept me like I worked for over a decade with them… Honestly, I’m still a bit overwhelmed… I lost good colleagues, but our friendship will stay - and for that I am so very grateful!
