I really enjoyed the menthol in today's cream and I enjoy the scent enough not to complain. On fragrantica, the fragrance that Proraso green most reminds people of is the Acqua di Parma Colonia Club. I used the scent comparison and the color green to link all my software for the day.
Challenge - I knew almost instantly that the lather sock wasn't going to work out well. As such, I admittedly didn't spend very long trying to make a lather that would do more than just cover my face. I started by squirting the cream straight on to the sock and worked it together like a washcloth until something sort of lather-like started forming. I ended up having to add cream 2 more times and water throughout. Even with the extra cream I didn't end up with anything special and blame the poor lather for the irritation I dealt with most of the day. I did throw the lather on the brush the second and third pass and painted it on just to get credit for using it.
