    2-pass head shave. A really good shave today.

    What happens if everything around you seems to turn to shit and chaos? You fall back on the things you know you can trust. Your Ol’ Reliable. To me, that’s Midnight Stag. A dark, dank and very polarizing scent of leather, smoke, musky notes and freedom. It’s definitely not for everyday wear, but once in a while it really shines. The balm seems to have gone bad… but no big loss, as it contains paraffin and dimethicone. More space for new stuff.
    I like the simple CF base. Comparable to Stirling IMHO and just very easy to whip up a nice lather with.

    I also went through with my plan to cut my facial hair down into just moustache and a triangular soul patch. Everything was almost healed, but I didn’t want to wait another day. Put some witch hazel toner and a menthol balm on the facial skin, so I hope it’ll recover enough to give it a proper shave tomorrow.

    So what chaos? Apart from the abysmal news from the US election, my country’s government coalition broke apart late last night. Read about it here from a credible source Funny how yesterday I actually wrote about my own concerns for our general elections next year and today I woke up to these news. Now it’s sure that I and many others will vote far earlier than September 2025. Of course the old government was very unpopular and incompetent, but the worst were the neolibs (FDP) IMHO. If we really get Merz next year, it sucks. He’s a billionaire politician and a warmonger. Diplomacy isn’t his strong suit as he’s far removed from the ordinary folk in our country in his views. The far-right will also have gains again and I hate that… but it is what it is.
