SOTD 19.12.2023 - Celebratory shave

  • Prep: warm water
  • Razor: Stando Perun
  • Blade: BIC Chrome Platinum
  • Brush: TGS Galaxy 26 mm
  • Lather: Noble Otter - Neon Sun
  • Post Shave: Dick Johnson's "God Spray", Aloe Vera moisturiser

A 1-pass celebratory head shave. Today two of my final orders for this year arrived and apart from general grooming products I finally got Neon Sun by Noble Otter.

Off the tub, I immediately was hooked on the scent. This could very well make it to my list of all-time Favs. I don't like pure citrus scents, but combined with some "darker" ingredients like patchouli and musk it's really great. I was really excited when the scent got more pronounced once it was lathered up - this is why I enjoy wetshaving, unique scents with great artwork! The tub art is even holographic in some parts, reminding me of trading cards of my youth. It performed as great as any other NO soap I own. One use of the styptic pencil as shaving and coughing don't mix well...

The thing to celebrate? Today I had a call from my new nursing home that the contract is finally ready. So immediately after my early shift, I drove there to sign everything. Everything went well - I even know how I'll work in January! Now I finally have a written contract and an additional feeling of safety. It seems like everything today took a turn for the best outcome. Celebrating such an important new career step with an awesome new soap was just the icing on the cake!

Thanks DJ. It's definitely a bit more relaxed today now that I have the contract in my hands. The new year will bring lots of changes, but I hope for a good outcome!
