31.12.2024 - New Year's Eve
-> 1 pass plus buffing on the dome; 1 pass on the neck. A very comfortable shave to end 2024!
So this year is over. As always, it had its ups and downs for us all. Now we await transitioning into a new year, so Transition was a good choice for today. It's warm, smooth and inoffensive. I wanted my fragrance to be the real standout today, so it's perfect for that occasion. Siero base, so yet again a treat for my skin.
Vert Gothique is a sample I recently got as part of a perfume sample box where I could choose the samples myself. This one's a winner: leather, patchouli, oakmoss, spices, oud. It's quite expensive from what I know, but at least not in the league of Amouage Interlude Man and others. I think I'll seriously consider a full bottle of this one.
To conclude this post, I want to wish all you fine folks here at the wetshaving instance a nice smooth transition into 2025 and a Happy New Year! Between the years is usually a time for some introspection and looking at milestones of the past, but I think we can be proud of what we have here! Thanks for all your contributions and a special thanks to those who keep this instance up and running: walden, Merikus, djundjila. Awesome work, keep it up!
Happy New Year to you as well!
