Day 25 of APRil, woke up groggy. NFL Draft was a fun watch last night. Forgot to take a pic of my shave today.
Very pleasant Friday morning shave with Reflection. The prem base is like a lather cheat code.
3 Scots.
A set I won in a pif from the awesome VW and a scent that I really like. There's something catholic church about the mix of spices and incense but I like it.
Got the wife approval but children prefer gourmands because they're filthy heathens
Filthy heathens++;
Are you a gourmand fan? They're probably at the lower end of my scent prefs
Not sure about "fan", but there are gourmands I enjoy a lot, like Haverford, Don Josè, or Irish coffee. I have to be in the mood, though

Sad that I didn’t pick up this soap earlier. Darker and heavier scents normally aren’t my thing but 322 is very nice this morning.
This is another bubble that sounds great to me.

Nice shave! Pretty comfortable with minimal weepers. Not as close as it could be, but that could be the lather's fault (or is it my fault?.... nahhhh)
