Brush before shave 26
Got in an earlyish shave today. We are heading out to do some shopping this afternoon. Been in a bad habit of takeout the last week. A Sonic Drive-In opened about 2 blocks away from us. Today I spent even more time building the lather. I have been trying to scoop a little less each day. I’ve gone from about an almond sized scoop to a peanut sized scoop. I am getting as much lather even using less soap. Even though it felt like my movements were better and getting a good angle, my neck is very irritated today, like I’ve scratched it in places. Not razor burn at least, but the splash did sting, but the coolant is taking the sting out now. Under a week to go. I don’t think this blade will stay in after next Thursday. I got more green out of Sonder today. I gave myself an extra splash after all the stinging. So I got the citrus, creamy vanilla and maybe sandalwood, and some green like a freshly cut plant stem. I don’t always get the green scent, but it was nice to get a different note out of the normal lemon creme sandwich cookie that I always get off Sonder. Like many of my favorites, there is always more to get out of it.
I am looking forward to next Friday’s Remote Learning. I’m curious to see how the soap scent will handle being lathered. Maybe it will be like my shave in LG with my smoosh of Shag. The smoosh totally made the room smell like patchouli when I got it. Opening the baggy, it was strong patchouli, but when I lathered it up, the patchouli disappeared almost completely. It came out much later after I dried off. Maybe the funky cheese will get killed by the water and soap (I doubt it, but I can hope).
