2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
I have been looking forward to this shave and I picked from my best gear for it. Beloved captures the intended feeling perfectly (IMHO). Yes, lavender isn't for everyone but the blend in this scent manages to evoke the feeling of being with, or thinking of, loved ones. Really hard to do I think, and kudos to u/mammothben for taking this one on. I'm going to add Lavendursday to my regular rotation. [Theme Thursday++, but I don't always participate.]
After being outside in the early morning and early evening for four days, waiting for a squirrel to sit and eat a nut for my July 9 photo, I feel as if I've given the mosquito horde behind my house enough sustenance for a while. I like the idea of an outdoor shave but the mid-80's (mid-26's) temperature and equivalent level of humidity was too much for me this morning.
