Just another use of NO Ace since it's so damn good. A very unique blend of many notes that somehow come together just right to create something special. Also the RR Cyber is just "easy head shave mode" for me. The blade is probably shot now though.
Today is our national holiday in Germany, the "Tag der deutschen Einheit" (= day of german unity). Normally I try to use at least something german, but I couldn't be arsed since most stuff from here is simply outdated or not that great. Or isn't made anymore. There are some individuals with cool ideas like Design94 who created an aircraft aluminium razor first and then a titanium one, but most of them operate in the high price range that I simply can't afford (think Wald synthetic brushes, beautiful but expensive). Unfortunately.
Anyways, I had today off since a colleague wanted to swap shifts so I will work tomorrow. Helped my parents finish their fence (kinda ironic to build a fence on the day where we celebrate the fall of the wall) and had probably the last barbecue of the year - starting tomorrow we're supposed to get really rainy and stormy autumn weather, so it was a good opportunity today.
