Almost forgot to post (again). I'm still sick which is just ridiculous! It must be back-to-back viruses or something. Yesterday and today I felt achy, but acetaminophen does a great job at treating that symptom. The rest of my symptoms are mild, but annoying.

Anyway, this shave was good. This soap base doesn't give me any problems, but there's just something sort of boring about it. It works, but doesn't thrill me. I've heard more recent versions of the vegan base are an improvement.

Another symptom I've had today is decreased smell. This morning it was basically nill, so I couldn't smell the soap much.

I restarted the Lemmy server since there seemed to be a bit of lag, and the Scheduling Bot was doing double posts again. Here's to some increased stability and performance. ๐Ÿฅ‚
