1 pass shave for both the dome and the face again. Again, a little blood was shed due to bumpy skin - this time behind my right ear. Unfortunately I get bad skin breakouts again this time of the year...
LGC in Omnibus is awesome as always, but I begin to think that the BIC aren't my favourite blades anymore. They rarely work that comfortably in any of my newer razors, so I guess the search for a better blade needs to resume.
First selfie done today, second and third one tomorrow. I actually had tomorrow off, but one of my colleagues/friends got sick and the others would have been massively understaffed. So another early shift tomorrow - who cares, the execs will have to pay me my overtime and leftover vacation time anyways ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
The best part of leaving a job ๐
I guess you're right about that. I have about 25 hours of overtime and 8 vacation days, so it won't be much... But a nice boost to my final payment by them ๐๐ป
Btw, I will try to get to work on the sample on the weekend but I think it'll take me until next week to ship it. But it'll be done!
Don't worry, I'm not in any hurry and appreciate that you're doing this at all ๐
