Across the Spider-verse is a blast, but as a warning, it's pretty long. Might want to go without any pre-movie beverages.

It's pretty rough out there CONUS for allergies, regardless of cats. Solidarity. I've been on a pill daily plus a spray every few nights all summer long.

Is it an unusually lengthy post?

The producer is Wilton Benitez and JBC (Wisconsin) roasted it. I know there are countless good options CONUS these days, but JBC was one of the better roasters nationally a decade ago. The last two interesting roasters I tried through a local cafe were Brandywine and Bivouac, both of which seem to focus on natural process stuff.

I'll admit I'm not good at describing razors in a precise way, but I find it comfortable and very easy to use without sticking or irritation. I'd say it's a comfortable but relatively aggressive two passes. Less so than the Blackbird SS.

Mousse Illuminée is my favorite Rogue perfume, though I haven't tried the new pine forest scent.

New GEM blade—very smooth shave, but at least one weeper. Fresh GEMs be like that.

I should have pushed that previous blade to fifty.

Honed over the decades.

I didn't plan on pushing this blade so long, but my Legacy shaves are so smooth and easy that I'm inclined to keep going until that changes. Don't want to ruin a good thing just because I would normally bin a blade around 40 shaves.
