June 7 - I'm Actually Using a Proper Themed Soap

  • Brush: Semogue 610 21mm Boar

  • Razor: Fatip Grande Open Comb

  • Blade: Asco Platinum Orange

  • Lather: Zingari Man - The Magician Soap

  • Post Shave: Lucky Tiger Splash

  • Post Shave: Noble Otter - Orbit Splash

  • Fragrance: Chatillon Lux - Agua Fresca EdT


Decided to give myself a couple of freebie days between soap projects. I wracked my braid for ages wondering if I had a vetiver scented soap, and realized I picked up The Magician at this years Maggard Meetup. Legit, this fragrance is greeeen and awesome. The vetiver really rounds out the fragrance as elegant with a hint of mysterious. Like a magician.

What wasn't so magical is the irritation this aggressive AF razor caused to my lower neck. I haven't used this razor in ages, and though everything else feels awesome, my lower neck isn't. I'll use something more forgiving tomorrow.

Today's fragrance pairings are more refreshing fragrances. But I learned that there are different kinds of refreshing... Orbit is refreshing in that it's light, kinda cozy and has the chilliness factor. Agua Fresca is refreshing in a fruity, sweet way. I thought they might work together to bring the ultimate refreshing feeling, and it didn't work like that at all. I get whiffs of the spacey splash popping out from the fruity fragrance, and it just doesn't work. Ya live and ya learn.
