Theme: Bilingual Day - Gemütlichkeit + Polish Whisky makes something close to Rüdesheimer Kaffee I suppose.

gemütlichkeit /gə-moo͞t′lĭk-kīt″, -müt′lĭᴋʜ-/, noun, Warm friendliness; amicability.

Scent notes: Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and sugar roasted chestnuts served with a cup of steaming coffee

Daily Challenge: Go by feel. Do not use a mirror (or anything reflective) to shave today. My phone's camera does not use mirrors or reflection. It was weird shaving by phone. Seriously though, I tried keeping my eyes closed on the first pass but I kept cheating. In latter passes, I did better facing away from the mirror. It went much slower than usual and my sideburns were a bit crooked.
