I had a wonderful relaxing shave this morning with my Gem Junior Lather Catcher and Never Alone 4. I love Lather Catcher razors they are so elegant and well designed. The artistry in the lettering is wonderful. The fact that they are 100+ years old and still functioning beautifully. And knowing that if cared for properly they should function for 100+ more years. We don't have as much time here. So make your time count. Enjoy each moment. Find ways to treat yourself well. It doesn't have to be expensive or extravagant.
If you are struggling to find joy, reach out. Find a friend or family member to talk to. If you don't feel like you can than call 988 and seek help. I struggled with severe depression for over 20 years before I reached out for help. I wish I would have talked to someone sooner. It took another 10 or so years to get to a place where i was consistently happy to be alive. Had I reached out sooner it probably wouldn't have taken so long. It's been so much better living with the support I could have had all along. I still have low days but they aren't as bad, not as often and not as hopeless. Don't let the bad days win. You really are Never Alone. There are people that want to help, you just have to give them the chance.
Thanks so much to everyone who put this together. I'm not sure who is OK to tag. Check out The Razor Company for more info on who was involved.

The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with the Semogue 1305 boar brush. Two passes and touch ups with the 1914 Gillette Pocket Edition Razor and the Gillette Super Blue Blade X3 gave me a close, comfortable shave.
