Last Shave of 2025! - 31. December 2025
almost forgot to post: single pass head shave, grabbed the cartridge because I was running late for my final late shift at the old place. No irritation whatsoever!
The last shave of 2025. I planned something nice for it, but life had other plans. Had to fall back on GTB, my personal "Ol' Reliable". The cartridge razor wasn't the worst thing ever, but it's a safe and - unfortunately - soulless choice.
What a year. I finished my retraining, got my nursing degree, found a new job just this month... it was really stressful, but oh so worth it. Wetshaving wise, I transitioned from Lemmy to PieFed, post with the WSDB SOTD generator, got a new safety razor and some nice new soaps after my degree and was able to explore quite a few interesting soaps thanks to Buena Vista Wetshaving Social Club. Thanks for being here and having me around, folks! I wish every single one of you & your families a smooth transition into the new year. In Germany, it's tradition to say "Guten Rutsch!" meaning as much as "Have a nice slide into the new year". So, have a nice & slick slide and a successful start into 2026, folks. ๐๐ฅณ
Happy New Year! It is 15 minutes away in Germany as I write this :)
Happy 2026 to you too! ๐ฅณ
You've been busy, that's for sure! Happy new year!
The same to you, walden! Thanks for taking such great care of our small but fine community here!
