Same software 3 days in the row. Sometimes its nice to not make a conscious decision and just use what's handy. Happy Friday eve everybody. This week is going by fast, but somehow feels like it is dragging too.

Lovely shave with DFTR and Shire. DFTR is inspired by the end of an adventure and Shire by the calm before an adventure, but they play really well together.

Splash is almost done, soap isn't too far behind it.

Great shave, no irritation.
