Another upsettingly upsetless match yesterday. I guess the seed calculation was really on point 😅 A pattern emerged again where the first half of the votes lean more progressive, pro-underdog (in this match until 14:00 GMT) only to be wiped out by a reactionary pro-establishment wave waking up (That's around 06:00 CST. I see you, mid-westerners.)

I really enjoyed my travel razor yesterday, so I reused it today. AG 1889 is my first duck fat soap from CGC, and I'm impressed. Even in this first try, I got glistening slick lather without issues.

The scent is intriguing; right off the bat, it reminded me of warm, spicy Baccarat Rouge behind a fresher, spicy, dominant first wave. I have since been made fun of on the discord for that comparison (doubtless deservedly, my wife reacts similarly when I talk about scents), but my nose, my combo 😊

Unfortunately, I get a distinct frag tingling from the soap. Not much, but it's definitely there. I'll give the soap another chance, but this one might need to move on.

Unvernünftig, aber gut rasiert 😉
