Rarely do shaves go this well. Vespers felt like the perfect scent for the downslope of the holiday season, and the MM24 made it an absolutely smooth shave with no irritation. Happy New Year all!

3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Wood Shop has so much character to it. Great soap and scent. I find myself doing more 3-pass shaves these days. This is definitely a holdover from BBS November.

Very nice MMMMFF shave tonight. I'm really enjoying this Simpson brush now that it's not losing so many hairs anymore (5 today, 7 yesterday, 11 the day before).

I've started casually hunting for a Flying Wing. The aesthetic is very pleasing to me.
I did just get a MMOC though, and I'm waiting on a replacement head for my MM24. Trying to remind myself just one thing at a time, but they're just so damn affordable on the bay. :)

I love the shape of that brush handle, looks like it’d be a pleasure to use.

A very early morning, but that's ok. I should be home by 1:30pm (13:30 for some of if you) so it's worth it.
This will be the end of this Mood Indigo stretch. I think my nose did get better overall at learning what to smell, but it's still a light (but good) scent.
You probably know this but 13:30 is the 24-hour clock. 1330 would be Military Time. My New Year's resolution is to be less of a stickler :)
Mood Indigo++; // (Mood )?Indigo in EBNF (again being the stickler)
I was trying to appease our more, shall we say, "European", users. I believe they use the colon, but I'm often wrong about these things.
I've never heard of EBNF and after a quick search I don't think I have any interest in learning! I only know the "++" from other shavers, and learned years after the fact that it was some sort of programming nomenclature.
