Close shave

I've always wanted a hot foam straight razor shave. I guess that explains me paying 20 lira for one in the Istanbul airport at 4am this morning.

The real bonus was the generous application of Turkish aftershave and cologne afterwards. Even though I hadn't showered or slept in over a day, and much of that day was spent either sweating at the beach or sitting in an airplane or bus, I smelled terrific. Still do.

Here's a picture taken several seconds afterwards where I dozed off while examining the closeness of the shave.
