Since Monday, I've been back at my internship at the neurological rehabilitation centre. Tonight I returned to my flat and sadly have nothing much to do over the weekend before driving over there again on Sunday evening.

Today I did an experiment though: I took my Remington head shaver with me, which is said to be usable with shaving foam. I know they probably thought about canned stuff instead of proper shaving soap, but today I tried just that - the results were nicer than the dry shave in terms of skin health (after using it dry, I often had a fierce razor burn on the back of my head and neck). There was still some burn, but it was gone quickly. Regardless, I'm glad to be able to use a safety razor again this weekend!
