Dear u/PrideTwo

Today's shave marked a departure from the routine, a three-pass journey through this unending #WAR. The twenty-ninth day unfolded with a sense of exploration, as I faced the mirror with the intention of a different approach.

The razor, my unwavering companion, met my skin with each pass, each stroke a deliberate movement towards a close shave. The scent of the soap, that lingering aroma of #WAR, seemed almost secondary today, overshadowed by the curiosity of this new technique.

As I navigated the three-pass routine, I found myself embracing the change, welcoming the opportunity to break free from the familiarity of the two-pass routine. It's as if this departure has breathed new life into the challenge, offering a different perspective on the battlefield.

As the twenty-ninth day draws to a close, I carry with me a sense of satisfaction, a reminder that even in the midst of routine, there's room for exploration and change. Tomorrow, I'll rise again, ready to face whatever this #WAR brings, armed with the knowledge that even in the final days, there's space for innovation. Until then, my journal, I'll continue to navigate this path with a sense of openness and curiosity, embracing the challenges and changes that each day brings. Onward, through the evolving landscape of this enduring challenge, one pass at a time.

I'm sure you're sick of my letters at this point. Being reminded daily of this challenge you put before me. Consider my constant reminders of #WAR to be payment for your sending it to me in the first place.
