Not too much to say about today's shave, I always use osma as all people should, it's great and if you think differently you are wrong. Glacial Electric Sheep is a great soap but the scent isn't anything that will have your significant other begging for more. The scent is fine, but it's mostly citronella with some actual good smelling things to mellow out the scent of the candles you use to keep bugs away during the summer.
I'm normally a fan of these Kai blades but they work surprisingly well on the 34g, probably because it's gold and everything is better in gold.
The wholly Kaw balm is my favorite balm bar none.
Sonder is just an amazing scent and one of the few things that lives up to the hype. This will in fact get you laid, as long as your partners nose isn't sus.
As for the coffee, I used Lance Hedrick's Next Level Pulsar recipe and it was a damn good cup of coffee. Nothing that blows me away, but a delicious cup. I usually prefer fruitier coffees with more acidity and this one is really good but it doesn't hit all the notes I need to make me love it.
