Daily Write-Up
Props to the Hon. u/Djundjila for the soap. I had never tried any Saponificio Varesino before. Both the soap performance and scent were great. I could totally see picking this up.
Going ATG and only ATG? Loved that less. I used a really mild razor and still ended up skipping and nicking my chin.
Soap Theme Justification
Vetiver is right there in the name.
Post-Shave and Fragrance Relevance Notes
Given the grassy scent of vetiver, I decided to do a theme of variations on the outdoors. Started with the DV, then went to B&M Citrucaya, which though it’s got a lot of citrus, I get more green florals taking over. It reminds me of the bike trails near where I grew up in summer, when everything is blooming. Lastly, I put on Confluence, which has a strong evergreen note.
