Yet another night shave. Today wasn't as busy, but I rather spent my time on other things. Like getting a proper wetshaving starter kit for my colleague M. sorted out! Was stoked to hear that he's actually really interested in wetshaving, but didn't know were to start. Already sent him some tutorial videos.
Not much to say anyway; I get reasonably good shaves out of my Captain, and found some interesting ways to hold it that give me the feeling of having more control. Still, not getting any more proficient with the left hand.
The Tadé boar has turned out to be an awesome brush. The bristles are now nicely soft enough to easily splay and swirl it when face lathering.

Eurythmics - Here comes the rain again
One of the songs I loved as a child and still love now. This randomly started playing on Underground 80s just yet and immediately I'm taken back to pleasant (childhood) memories. Sometimes feeling the right amount of nostalgia is just what you need. Also, I credit Annie Lennox as the reason that I'm having a soft spot in my cold heart for shorthaired women. Her voice is worth more than the looks though - what a great singer! One comment says that her voice transcends time - I'm bound to agree, as this is one of those 80s classics you'll still often hear played in modern radio.
