SOTD 15.01.2024
A very late but fast head shave. One pass, done. I actually wanted to see if I could shave my head with a safety razor in ten minutes. It took 15, but I can still improve a bit...
The Phytorelax ASB is actually something that isn't just a gimmick for head shavers - it contains a mild sunscreen, smells nice and absorbs quickly. I had it already in 2021ish, but they updated and improved the formula a bit. The only downside is that it still contains dimethicone/silicone oil. You can't have everything I guess.
Very busy day yet again. Right after nursing school, I picked up my mom and visited my grandma in her nursing home for her 91. birthday. My uncle and aunt were already there and it was a pretty relaxed afternoon. After last year's big party, grandma doesn't want any big celebrations anymore. I also went grocery shopping, later did a full body workout with kettlebells and resistance bands at home. I probably will need a lot of coffee to get through tomorrow, but oh well... Life happens and you gotta make the most of it.
