-> 2-pass head shave. Unfortunately with a bit of irritation at the back of my neck despite using a fresh blade. Huh, it is what it is.
I used a soap that was buried a bit deeper in my cabinet: Vor V is a TF Tuscan Leather homage/dupe, just a bit more fruity than the original. That's a fragrance I really adore, so I was very glad when I won this barely used tub in a PIF a few years ago. WK wasn't available in the EU at that time, so it felt very exclusive too. I'd say it definitely has a special place in my collection and I might need to get the matching ASB someday...
Not much interesting to tell from me. I had my last day of nursing school yesterday, but just for one block of 90 minutes. Felt strange. I was able to give the administration all the needed documents for my RN degree though. Today was a slow and lazy day, apart from 90 minutes of studying for the oral exams - I got excited about finding a good deal for a new vacuum cleaner, a clear sign that I am definitely getting old.
Good vacuums transcend age.
I sure hope so! Those vacuum robots don't feel right for me.
