04-08 - Showin' off

  • Brush: Yaqi 'Purple Haze' w/ 24mm Mew Brown knot
  • Razor: 1953-54 Gillette 'Aristocrat Junior'
  • Blade: Gillette Nacet (4)
  • Lather: House of Mammoth - Mood Indigo - Soap
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Mood Indigo - Balm
  • Fragrance: Proraso - Wood and Spice - Cologne

Folks, I'm beat. I've worked right around 24 hours combined across the past two days - nice and breezy 12 hour shifts rushing between a looming magazine deadline and mega-breaking news (try ignoring the biggest drug bust in your region's recent history...).

Suffice it to say, I'm ready for a nice relaxing sleep - except I can't even get that, because I've got to be up briiiiiight and early tomorrow morning to cover for our weekend worker as they're (sadly) not able to be in two places at once, and work needs doing regardless of my broken sleep schedule.

At least today's shave was good again. 'Mindigo' never disappoints in making me feel relaxed - like I'm melting into a nice satin bedspread while wearing the comfiest cardigan known to humankind.

I also remembered u/MrTangerinesky's request to better show off my Yaqi 'Purple Haze' handle. I tried my best to get some light shining through it, and the result can be found here. It's not a great showcase of the nice swirls inside the brush handle (especially thanks to YouTube's shitty video compression), but it'll at least give you a better idea of what's in there.

I'll leave the rest to more eager photographers. I'm worn out from what feels like a lifetime of framing folks and snapping car accidents.
