Most people prefer Daylight Saving Time, just to clarify. The big push is to make it permanent, and not "fall back" to standard time.

Oops, posting the luxury shave first! I'll post the real one right after this.
Is there any supporting documentation for the name change? Sort of like how people can show a marriage certificate after they get married if their last name changed?
I'm going to use it a few times when I get it back so if you see it in a SOTD feel free to PM me as a reminder.
The soap isn't very strongly scented, but it smells quite nice. I've mentioned before that on some days I get a strange sort of smell from the soap, sort of like an off-gassing from something. I've had the same thing from ~~Mood~~ Indigo, so maybe there's a common accord in both of them. Strangely, it depends on the day.
There's a sort of maturity to the scent. I'm curious what it might smell like in fragrance form. It seems approachable, but not mainstream, if that makes sense.
Are you CONUS? I'm happy to send you mine to try once I get it back from the guy I lent it to.

The R89 is more aggressive than I typically like to use. I'm more of a Merkur 34C type of guy. It's a little bit surprising to me that the "89" series razors became the de facto recommendation for new shavers, although I think over time I'm starting to see some more variety in recommendations. At the same time, I don't know what I would recommend to someone new... the 89 series razors are ubiquitous, and relatively inexpensive. I've never tried a Maggard V3M but it looks exactly like a Baili BR171 which I like a lot.
Anyway, good shave!
I was about to say "yeah, but" and mention some stuff about seasonal depression, car accidents, etc... but maybe you're right. Both sides somehow have studies supporting their way of doing it, so maybe the path of least resistance is the best way.
