Another 'slurry lather' shave tonight - still loving the way it delivers a great lather with a lot less effort than I'd usually have to put in achieving such. And that's what this whole easy-mode thing is all about, after all.
Started my shave with snacking on a piece of chocolate-coated Turkish delight, made by a local confectionery here. Delicious. Hints of rosewater and chocolate punctuated the shave throughout as they rolled across my palate, and as I rinsed off and put my balm on, I could still taste the faintest wisps of it. A great way to enhance an already amazing experience.
That's got me thinking - I'd really love a Turkish delight-scented soap. Ideally with chocolate in it, too. Think about it - a strong, floral rose accord, bolstered by the rich chocolate; maybe a little powdery as well. It'd be a gourmand scent to die for. HoM have made some great food-related scents lately, so maybe Ben could work his magic on this one, too (wink wink nudge nudge). Or Mohammad from Grooming Department could take it on - those Mallard gourmands have been amazing. Really anyone could have a great go at it, to be honest. It could even be you.
Just wishful thinking, but who knows.
