Anyone else getting some different notes from their AA setup from time to time? Today, I got very sweet notes: more of bourbon in Midnight Stag and more bergamot in VoA. Could be my nose being weird, or it's just a quirk of using this for 15 days straight now...
Anyway, relaxing Monday SOTN. Two passes, now with more XTG on the cheeks. I'm getting confident with the Captain, even with a fresh Protouch MG. I've discovered that if I hold it like a Eagle Claw grip sometimes, it gives me great results.
Here's my wet boar after 15 days. It became a really nice brush so far. Lathering with it is a breeze now and that shows the good quality. I'm happy that I've chosen it for this journey: it's odd, but lovable. How can one not like vintage stuff?!
Sidetracked
Going for something different from metal or synthwave again, today my choice of song is Bloodhound Gang - Fire Water Burn, NSFW . BHG became really popular over here in Germany, due to not many people understanding the lyrics and just enjoying the good tunes. I suppose they didn't get much airplay in GB or the US. Nevertheless, they are a band I enjoy since my early teens and even until today I love their lyrics. They don't take themselves too seriously while still making good music. Fire, Water, Burn is also a good farewell song for my old ward. I'm officially out of fucks to give what happens there after the last day of August. I'll do my work as best as I can while I'm still there, but one can only spend so much energy on things that won't change for the better. So, in the immortal words of BHG: "Burn MFer, burn!"
