Quickest shavette shave of my life. Two passes WTG with some XTG sprinkled in. I love how I'm getting really comfortable with the shavette to shape up my moustache. Definitely one of the greatest tools for that!
Since my SOTD photo misses the already soaking brush, I took a few additional brush pictures:
dry boar from the front
dry from above
wet brush close-up
It has definitely lost the remaining boar stink but is firmly coated in Midnight Stag. But it is reaching good territory. Let's use the remaining days of August to get it to awesome. Also, are gel-tipped boars a thing? The last picture of my wet brush makes me inclined to say that it looks similar.
Sidetracked
New Oder - Love Vigilantes
I feel like this song has lost a lot of the late Joy Division/early New Order roughness, but that makes it better for a relaxed listen. The subject matter is still dark - Vietnam War, an ambiguous story if the storyteller is actually still alive and it was just a mistake or if he's a ghost. But it sounds way too happy for that. Nevertheless, New Order are great musicians and their instrumental prowess shows here again. The guitar solo close to the end is simply great.
Edit: like a absolute idiot, I forgot the AA tags: #SubstantialStag #RawHoggin despite saying that I'll always remember them. How can I be so damn stupid?!
