03.09.2024 - not dead yet
-> 1 pass head shave. Not the closest shave, but very comfortable.
So yes, I'm not dead yet. Life is busy atm but I keep on doing my thing.
Today was yet another very hot day, so this menthol shave provided some much needed refreshment. Currently I have yet another internship, but this one is at least a 45-minute drive away. Getting up just a bit after 4 a.m. is hard for a late type like me, so I now only use a washcloth in the morning and shower in the late afternoon or evening. Shower & shave combos work surprisingly well for me as my skin feels pretty good. Unfortunately my psoriasis has started to spread behind my other ear now too, so no harsh aftershaves anymore. I'll try to find a solution.
Recently we had elections at my federal state in Germany and unfortunately but unsurprisingly, the far-right has garnered a lot of votes. Partially also due to the incompetence of our current SPD-led government. Personally, I think it's time that we all talk more and try to find compromises and innovative, satisfying solutions for our problems. That'd help to curb extremist beliefs. (I'm usually not one to bring up politics, but the disappointment still lingers around in me - just trying to get it out.)
Have a peaceful day tomorrow โ๐ป
