1 pass head shave. This one wasn’t so good. A lot of tiny weepers on my scalp.
Thing is, Feathers are again deceptively smooth. Usually I feel when a shave is bad: tugging, an awful tight skin feeling, burn… There was none of that, but I immediately saw the little bleeding dots appear in the mirror! As I took the blade out to bin it, I saw a few tiny burrs on it. Maybe this was a rare manufacturing defect…
The end of the internship is near and I am so happy about that. Really, this place sucks ass. I’ll never complain about my nursing home working conditions again if I remember this place.

Back into head shaving with a 1 pass shave. I also switched my Lemmy client/app from Eternity to Thunder and now enjoy a bit of a nicer interface after getting more familiar with it…
Shaving my head with the Hawk is very nice, I did this before my late shift and it gave me a good result. Union is lightly mentholated (quite nice for a not so warm day here) and over time, the very fluid old school “balm” has grown on me. I like the pump mechanism. I hope to shave more often now that I’m back at my regular workplace and my home.
Unfortunately I don’t feel very well since my grandmother is probably going to die soon and the whole situation has me torn. She wants it and due to her age of 91 and her various ailments, it’s the best for her. But it’s still my grandma and the process hurts. I’m glad to have my work to distract me a bit.
