Quick shave after a pretty exhausting day. During my late shift at the nursing home, we actually had a fire alarm. One of the residents in the lowest floor smoked in their room, forgot to put out the cigarette right and left it on a chair. Needless to say, that thing caught fire and due to the smoke, the whole room is ruined now. My colleague had to help the police and firefighters, so I was left pretty much alone on the ward with the task of getting everyone in bed. Ugh. It could've been such a nice and relaxed weekend shift, but no...

I'm just glad that loading and lathering with the boar - seen here drying after its 20th use - and shaving with the shavette are pretty much on autopilot now. I already did a Stag headshave before my shift with a disposable razor, but I really had to pay more attention there not to cut anything than here. With guarded blades, this shavette is basically foolproof.

However, just done the bare minimum two passes. I'm sure that I'm a bit burnt out from all the wetshaving contests even though I don't like to admit that.

Sidetracked
Eyedress - Jealous (slowed|Reverb|Bass boosted) - Now, I know this track has become somewhat of a meme song. In fact, I first heard it in a Patrick Bateman meme template and thought: "wow, has goth rock really crossed over to the mainstream?!" Well, of course it hasn't. If you listen to the original it sounds a bit like angsty teen indie rock. But this version, with added bass and reverb and slowed down a bit? Perfection. The dark nature of the lyrics seems to be much more impactful if presented by a more mature sounding singer. In fact, I vastly prefer this edit here. If any sidetracked-participants know of music that actually sounds like this without added effects, please let me know!?
