The daily photos for this are really looking like I just took a bunch of pictures all at once and am just posting different ones each day. That's just the nature of gradual changes, of course.
Oh, hey, have I mentioned how much face-lathering sucks? It's terrible and there's no reason anyone should choose to spend 30x the time to get a lather that's barely usable. I knew I had to put my magical bowl away for the month—not because it would present any kind of temptation, but because I would otherwise be likely to grab it simply out of habit. Off to the side in the photos so far is a mug that I decided to use not for lathering (there's not remotely enough width, so I couldn't if I wanted to), but for pre-shave brush-wetting.
Speaking of wet, new boar brushes, I feel like the stench is fading. It's still noticeable, but after just a few days seems to be at a place where I can ignore it.
Hopefully anosmia's not to blame, though. I do have a bit of a cough, but at-home tests tell me it's not the roni. I actually thought it was brought on by having slammed on my back like 50 times in a row in a krav maga class the day before it started. Whatever it is, I am nonetheless foregoing krav for the time being. Shame, because I only started up again a couple weeks ago.
