The fear of blood tends to create fear for the flesh.
Luckily, there was no blood this time (or at all this entire month, for that matter).
A foggy morning shave, and a pretty hurried one at that. Was rather under the pump this morning but needed to get the shave in no matter what, so I knuckled down and got it all done - plus drying and cleaning everything up - in just around 10 minutes. The usual one pass plus buffing, so not a very respectable time, but at least I wasn't late to work and still got a passable shave out of it, so hey.
We're doing a staff photo today for a special paper next week - it'll be put in a time capsule to be unearthed 30 years from now. My ugly mug is gonna scare some poor cyberpunk kid three decades from now, fancy that. At least they'll go 'man, this dude definitely shaved with Mammoth - it's so obvious'.
Not much else to report. Blade still trucking along and cutting hair, and the rest of my setup feels even more like a trusted companion than it already did when I started. At the very least, AA is a great way to figure out if you're gonna keep using your selected gear going forward. If I wasn't happy with one aspect of it I'd definitely get rid of it after a whole month of forced interaction. Luckily I love it all, and that's why I chose it in the first place.
