It's kinda surprising that you manage to shave at all - no eruption on the face ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

I got... lucky?

"Just" the pharyngitis and weird tongue, no rashes.

Monday, May 6, 2024: Les lundis du Pรจre Lucien


The TI turned out extremely sharp with the glycerine on the La Lune โ€“ I would probably feel more confortable onece it has dulled a bit. But I got a very close shave.

Have a good night!
