Another great, early morning shave. I had to smush around soap to fill the ring of death again. That's a good feeling, as we're almost to the end.
Today it's gonna be a gloomy, brisk morning at work, and Black Watch seems fitting for such a morning. The cranberry and spice of Vespers make a lovely pairing for the bergamot and jasmine of Black Watch, whereas the heaviness of Mousse de Saxe in the splash seems to bind to the leather, oakmoss and plum of the perfume. It's a pairing I wouldn't have thought to work so well, but ultimately they combine into what I envision to be a cozy evening at a lodge, bundled up in a winter jacket next to a fire. I kinda miss winter.
