    31.10.2024 - Halloween Shave: Samhain

    • Brush: RazoRock Beehive 28 mm
    • Razor: Leaf Thorn
    • Blade: snapped KCG
    • Lather: Southern Witchcrafts - Samhain
    • Post-Shave: Thayer’s Original toner; Natura Siberica ASB gel

    1 pass on the head, 1 on the face around my moustache and goatee. The face shave felt better than the head shave - I suppose the dome won’t get used to daily shaving.

    Ghouls, ghosts and goblins, today is finally Halloween! Of course I used Samhain. I really look forward to this scent every time; sadly this year without the matching AS since I now weirdly have allergic reactions to that.

    Today was also a day where I spontaneously decided that I’ll trim my short beard down into something different. I now sport a style similar to this - minus the hair and Christian Bale’s awesomeness of course. Net profit is that I finally can shave the parts of my jawline that are prone to itching. It felt good to shave my cheeks again - the patchy growth there really doesn’t do my skin any favours and I can wear something nicer and tidier now.

    So, Halloween is usually a day off for me. We have a regional christian holiday in East Germany and that’s why many church officials are strongly opposed to Halloween. Baffling, since Christianity took over celtic pagan traditions with their own holidays. This video explains it very well in short (Buzzfeed Unsolved is way better than their parent company). My only gripe with the holiday? It became too commercial and too soft. Regardless, I hope everyone of you has a fine time today!
