11.12.2024 - Chypre on Wednesday
-> 1 pass on the head and neck. Comfortable dome shave, one inexplicable weeper on the neck - maybe I was going too fast and reckless.
2 of 4 early shifts have already worn me down; LGC smells like cola to me, so I figured a little wake-up call would help. At least it's always a pleasure to shave with.
Half of the week is done, folks. Let's survive those remaining two days together!
Primidi 21 Frimaire an 233 de la Révolution, jour d'Érable sucré
I don't smell much, so it's difficult to say something about Famine – it lacks the herb notes from Plague, but otherwise, it's the same base scent.
Have a good night!
Nice apple combo today, topped off with spicy Tabac Fire Power. The wedge could benefit from a few laps on the stones soon.

The Clog-Pruf really is a mild razor once you get the hang of it. I think I'm getting the hang of it.
Stirling One smells fantastic.

Dec 11, 2024 - When in Rome...
Great shave this morning with Roman Spice in the Highland base. A slick, glossy lather gave way to a close comfortable shave. The scent also got the wife's approval.
