Today’s shave was good. While I look forward to using my other hardware and software (oh Lord, do I need to use my other software), I’m able to get perfectly good, albeit unsatisfying, shaves with this set-up. In the early days of the month, I didn’t mind the unscented, because my brain was stimulated on the novelty of the MMOC and new boar brush. Now, those are old hat, and I’m just living that unscented life. Sept 1 can’t come soon enough on that aspect.
But today, the MMOC and Zenith were perfectly fine. Nice, close shave and the brush is really, really nice now.
Feeling like taking it easy for today’s #sidetracked music. The sweet, soothing sounds of Jack Johnson with Better Together. Jack is my go-to listen for when I’m working on projects or building anything, like the project I described in this post about hobbies, where I turned an old kerosene water heater into a lamp for my office. Jack Johnson’s music absolutely puts me in a calm, relaxed headspace so I’m able to focus on the task at hand and not get frustrated when something doesn’t go as planned or work the way I want it to (Fun-Fact: There will always be something that doesn’t go as planned). I listened to Jack for 100% of the time it took to build that lamp, restore an old dresser, and paint my toddlers’ nursery before they were born. When it’s time to be productive, and not rush through the process, it’s me and Jack Johnson. Every time.
