I woke up this morning to find the power's still out here. They say there's crews working around the clock to repair the storm damaage, and there's a lot more to do. It's the longest outage since... 2017 or 2018 I think. At least it's not terribly cold or terribly hot here. At least I don't need electricity to shave, just water. Although today's challenge would require electricity... my phone battery is not dead, but since the power's out I'm trying to conserve the battery, now that I have to charge it somewhere other than my wall.
In this razor, the blade still isn't a rough shaver, but today I needed almost a full fourth pass of cleanup. Which is a bit much. Le Grand Chypre (in Excelsior) of course gave me a great shave. And the bright resiny citrus was a nice scent. I also have this floral Chypre Rose Concerto splash, which is, at least to my nose, not much like le Grand Chypre. It is still bright, at least. Less bright, but also very floral, and I'm sure not at all a Chypre, is Lyssa. This goes quite well after Chypre Rose Concerto, and is a great scent.
I suppose my favorite "wettuber" right now would be HD Shaves. He's a nice dude, the kind of guy who'd give you a thumbs-up for your shave, unlike the harsh judge u/VisceralWatch. ;)
