1 pass head SOTN. I feel like I have to relearn DE safety razors. A couple of spots still feel rough; this was nowhere near a close shave.

Indigo is a good scent. Not as great as Tobacconist, but still good. Quite fitting for my current mood as it's based on a blues song. The weather is still cold, dark and rainy over here so it also fits that. Funny thing: as I was rinsing the soap out of the tub and tried to shake out the excess water, the whole puck came out and I had to clean it again. Seems like nothing goes quite as planned for me currently...

Onwards to Friday. Since some people seem to dig my song sharing, here's another one for those of you who bother to read this far: Molchat Doma - Toska
