almost forgot to post: single pass head shave, grabbed the cartridge because I was running late for my final late shift at the old place. No irritation whatsoever!
The last shave of 2025. I planned something nice for it, but life had other plans. Had to fall back on GTB, my personal “Ol’ Reliable”. The cartridge razor wasn’t the worst thing ever, but it’s a safe and - unfortunately - soulless choice.
What a year. I finished my retraining, got my nursing degree, found a new job just this month… it was really stressful, but oh so worth it. Wetshaving wise, I transitioned from Lemmy to PieFed, post with the WSDB SOTD generator, got a new safety razor and some nice new soaps after my degree and was able to explore quite a few interesting soaps thanks to Buena Vista Wetshaving Social Club. Thanks for being here and having me around, folks! I wish every single one of you & your families a smooth transition into the new year. In Germany, it’s tradition to say “Guten Rutsch!” meaning as much as “Have a nice slide into the new year”. So, have a nice & slick slide and a successful start into 2026, folks. 🍀🥳

Happy 2026 to you too! 🥳
