Cheshire smells so good to me.

Today was the L3++ baseplate’s first back-of the-neck shave. It was very efficient — previously, I was doing a three-pass run (ATG, XTGx2) and today two-pass got me BBS. No cuts, no weapers. Alum gave me an A- all over. Just an extra tingle behind one ear.

Have a good one!
