Aug. 30, 2022 - AA Day 30
And then there was one.
Solid shave tonight. I really didn't to shave, if I'm honest, but, 2 left, I'm not blowing the month long trek 2 shaves before it's over. But, tonight was the first time I was looking forward to it being over. I love these contests when they start, but, by the end, well - doing this every day can be a lot.
All that to say, the Zenith was great again Pic 1 Pic 2 - whipped up a great lather and was plenty soft. I cannot wait to dry that thing out on Thursday. It's going to be so great to rub those bristles on a towel and really dry 'em out. Gosh, so satisfying.
MMOC with the Gem was fine. My first lather was a little dry so it was a bit tuggy, but I added some water and then next pass and buff were really good. Somehow after 30 shaves I can still mess it up. I'm going back to GUTL on Thursday and I think that'll help - it's so tough tub loading to have any kind of consistency in amount of soap. That said, all month the lathers have been great.
Sonder thought of the day:
There are plenty of happy people in the world, too. It's not just that everyone struggles - people are joyful and pleasant and have lots to give. Some of those other vivid lives are worth having in your own for encouragement and friendship and general positivity. People often say that "you are the net of your 5 closest friends." So - surround yourself with people you want to be like. People with positive outlooks and encouraging thoughts and a willingness to challenge you. It's for the best. You've only got 1 vivid life to live, but you can benefit from the lives of so many others.
Have a good night, all.
