Another late AF shave. Might as well continue my streak; there's nothing wrong with shaving at night...
I'm currently on the second Protouch MG blade (apart from a bloody one-stop detour with a Feather Professional AC) which is kinda fascinating - it's still usable fine, so why not continue for a bit. Perhaps my technique got way better and they don't deteriorate as much anymore thanks to that. In fact, I'm a bit worried how my return to safety razors will turn out come September - might use my Hawk V2 a bit more at first.
Alas, for the headshaves I forfeited the goal of using a MMOC exclusively. I went with yellow plastic disposable razors instead - on one hand to use them up, on the other to just get done quickly. It will definitely get more use in Geartober, that's a given.
Tadé boar progress: side profile shot with my trusty shavette. I yet again forgot to take a dry pic for some "before and after" shots. Judging by the bristles, it's come a long way. These look like my Zenith New Titanio looks when wet, a very masterful boar brush with lots of uses under its belt. In fact, Raw Hoggin' made me appreciate the natural hair brushes again and I will continue to acquire more boar or horse brushes and also work my Extró 26 mm badger/boar mix brush into something usable going forward. Will I rawhog the sub exclusive behemoth boar? Big fat NOPE. But I think I will do less break-in than normal and just more hand lathering.
Sidetracked
Dan Terminus - Cherenkov Blue Overdriver
Much like Mr. Kent aka Perturbator who I featured earlier this month, Dan Terminus is a part of the french darksynth circle. DT tracks are all featuring more or less heavy distortion on the synths as well as great energetic melodies. They're somehow popular for AMVs and I once saw one of his tracks used with Fist of the Northstar... That was just perfect. They'd also make great gaming soundtracks and in fact have been used as such in the game NeuroVoider. So, dear sidetracked gang: enjoy some vibes for more energy!
