I haven’t slept in so long.
I haven’t shaved in so long.
Nothing makes sense anymore.
Good shave anyway.

Atlas Shaves II - Day 26
I purchased this Apex Alchemy Summer Sample Set a few years ago. These are more along the lines of a novelty soap. Each a different color of blue, red, or, as in today's pick, green. The scents are all way too sweet. Grēn River is not quite as bad, and it smells a little like Fruit Loops to me. Fortunately, I had forgotten about these and they were still in my den.
