Wow this was easily my favorite shave all LG so far. These are all discontinued or limited relics of the past. Mickey Lee Paradise Frost is the ultimate grapefruit scented soap that I cannot find a suitable replacement for. Southern Witchcraft Grapefruit is a throwback to their discontinued Basic Witch lineup. Nonaginta was a limited run from Chatillon Lux's Side Project Series. The main star of this fragrance is the grapefruit peel note. I was really hoping Agua Fresca would reflect this DNA more, but it wasn't quite it. All in all, each product highlights grapefruit and I could easily run this same shave several days in a row without boredom.
I was surprised at how much better today's SOTD photo turned out. This is the old Paradise Frost Label and not quite as attractive. The white between all products was a nice common theme. Unfortunately the Grapefruit aftershave was a little out of place. Still, it's better than I expected when I knew this challenge was paired with this soap label.
