#GEMsOfWisdom / #RawHoggin
I've officially run out of steam.
I'm still getting good shaves out of the MMOC, but it's far from my favorite razor, and I'd prefer shaving with something milder for a while. (For example, my MMOC-minus-the-harshness Peerless.) And I'm really sick of this Lime soap. It's a fresh, natural lime scent, but it's starting to make my stomach turn a little after twenty-six face lathers in a row, and I'll be putting this aside for a while after the end of the month.
Hang in there everybody—just a few more shaves.

"Goodbye Pork Pie Hat" is one of the first jazz melodies I learned to play on saxophone...poorly. Same goes for "Stardust." My saxophone career was never destined for greatness, and ended unceremoniously towards the end of college, but I still listen to a lot of jazz at home (especially while I'm reading or getting some work done).
By the way, if you're just getting started with Mingus, you can't go wrong with either Mingus Ah Um or Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus, but the former is one of the many essential releases that made 1959 a famously good year for jazz.
