Day seven. While technically not my birthday shave, this is the shave I'll be using for the birthday lunch tomorrow. 3 pass shave, with just a bit of blood. It was 301 Kelvins today, so I went for cold water shave. Really smooth, I must say.

Staying at a hotel with a magnifying mirror, So I made use of it. First of all, you can evaluate if your lather is rather bubbly, and you can also see how the stubble gradually gets shorter with each pass. Is it expendable? Absolutely! But it was an interesting shave.

The brush is really enjoyable, though copper's getting some patina. Any clues on how to clean it without ruining it?

So, finally, paging u/Teufelskraft for the #sidetracked part of AA. The song I chose Comfortably Numb, from Pink Floyd's 1979 album The Wall. Needless to say, it is a great song, one of the masterpieces of classic rock. Song structure is not complex at all. Three different chord progressions, for the verse, prechorus and chorus. Nothing elaborated, dissonant chords or psychodelic progressions. Still, the song is solid, full, and with a big and dense atmosphere, perfectly picturing the alienation of the character. It has an interesting rhythm pattern for bass and drums, somewhat different to what is found in the majority of music, which I think contributes to the dense and mystic atomsphere. Two solos, the first one, very elegant, yet with a delicate feeling. The second is a gut-wrenching experience. Raw, overdriven, climaxing, with absolutely top-class feeling. Arguably one of the best solos ever.

This particular version is huge, not just because of the production, but because it features Dave Gilmour.

And why is this song important to me? Certainly it wasn't the first PF song I ever heard (most certainly it was another brick in the wall), but it is a song I covered with a classic rock band while in medschool, and it takes me to tjat special times

Hail Stag!
