Quintidi 5 Brumaire an 234 de la RΓ©volution, jour d'Oie: Austrian National Holiday
Today is the Austrian National Holiday (also knows as: Day of the Flag), and I tried to come up with as much Austrian gear as I could. Unfortunately, I have no Haslinger soap here, so I only had the Koraat razor (I could also have taken the GreenCult, but nothing else). Rose de Pushkar because: why not; a horse brush because Lippizaner.
I was toying with the idea of @DaveWave94@sub.wetshaving.social to give a moustache a go, but before I had decided on any firm course of action, I had shaved the area β which resolves the issue.
Have a good day!

Don't worry, there are still a few days left before November actually starts. IIRC, the original "Movember" starts by shaving everything off on the 31st of October and then shave everything but the upper lip during November, giving you ~ 4 full weeks of growth. I didn't really like the concept as I was younger and had slow growth and no one cared for the fundraising in my circle back then, but if you just want to see how you look with a 'stache, it's a funny challenge. I actually plan to do something similar this year: trimming the moustache short and shaving off everything else on Halloween and then letting it grow during all of November. Now that I am in my 30s, I could probably get something better going than in my mid-20s. π₯Έππ»
I will need though to learn to shave more mindfully!
Sure, there's lots of automated routines to avoid if you actually want to try it. I'm sure you'd manage it though ππ»
