    -> 2-pass head shave. All around solid shave today, no irritation or discomfort.

    I had a little craving for blueberries - recently I re-discovered a little liquid bottle that I bought during a Christmas sale with “blueberry cinnamon buns” aroma. Vaping that stuff kinda reminds me of Indigo, so I had to try that out. Oddly, there’s nothing that I associate with Christmas when it comes to blueberry and cinnamon. It’s usable all-year around for me personally.

    But Indigo delivers. As always. I really think this is the more pleasant aroma with blueberries in it, but well - each are quite different mediums of delivery. Indigo is definitely darker, a bit more mysterious and smoky. Quite to my liking. Funnily enough, I have noticed now that I share the same taste for wetshaving fragrances/scents as I do with vaping e-liquids. My absolute favourite is something with tobacco in a unique blend; as well as anything dark, warm and heavy. Then come dessert gourmands: vanilla, chocolate, cookies and such. Props if it has a spicy edge. Perhaps at least equal to that, but not ahead of the dark/tobacco stuff are drink gourmands - cola, whiskey, gin and the like. Never ever too fruity and/or cloying sweet stuff. I guess my taste is an acquired one and not very easy, but at least unique.

    I have somehow tweaked my back recently - it really sucks and just a few (sometimes odd) positions of sitting and lying down are without discomfort. I hope to get it back in working order soon - time to hit the foam roller again…
