    Great travel shave. I’m glad to have discovered this likely already-known trick of traveling with a Micromatic and turning the blade around for suitcase safety.

      That is a good trick. I honestly don’t think safety razors have been much improved since the Micromatic. @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social and I often comment about the elegance of the MMOC’s TTO mechanism and the shaving benefits of a razor design that rewards good technique.

    • Blade: Personna - Lab Blue (4)

    Continuing my smush tour with TotW. It’s a nice mild fougere.

    Some friends gifted me a full bottle of Égoïste last night for my birthday, which I’m very excited about. I really love this warm, spicy scent, which paired quite nicely with Lavanille.

    Have a great Saturday, all!
