    There’s less citronella here than I had remembered. The lemon and eucalyptus really do balance it out. If I still like this by the end of the month, I’ll put a full tub on my to-buy list.

    $ShepherdsofStirling day 2. I’m learning that this soap mellows out enough to pair with just about anything. I already had a decent understanding of how good the mutton base is, but I’m appreciating it more and more each day. Aquatic vibes for a rainy summer day.

    $ShepherdsofStirling day 3. Stockholm syndrome is starting to set in. I wish I had the complementary splash for Electric Sheep. I was planning to have to break AA for my wedding later this month but I’ve realized this soap will match the requisite bug spray at an outdoor woods wedding in August. I told my fiance. She laughed – she probably thinks I was joking. Electric Sheep is love. Electric Sheep is life.

    I learned this morning that I have officially earned my LCSW, allowing me to independently practice therapy (a huge step in my career).

    To celebrate, I gave myself an easy-peasy shave today with this setup which gives me a good shave no matter what. $ShepherdsofStirling

    Got sunburned to all hell yesterday, so this was a little bit of an uncomfortable shave on the back of my neck. Thankfully, I was wearing a hat when the sunburning question occurred, so the rest of the shave was comfortable. This pass around v24 is fun, though I think I need to use it back to back with my v23 and see if I can really identify the difference. Without the direct comparison, though, I think I like the v24 a tad more. $ShepherdsofStirling

    Quick shave today. Wanted to try out the C&H v24 again but forgot to soak and was trying to get out the door. Feeling a bit of regret with this splash choice, which I normally like, but is giving me cleaning product vibes today. Oh well - it'll fade.

    Happy Tuesday, all.

    August is halfway over, I’m 8 days away from my wedding, and time is simultaneously very fast and very slow.

    $ShepherdsofStirling

    Now that I’ve used the v23 and v24 back to back, I’m quite sure that I like the v24 more. I’m not necessarily looking to replace my knot, but it’s tempting. New to me is also this Birch + Root aftershave (along with a soap that will have to sit unused until Sept), and I’m trying to figure out if the wintergreen is giving a cooling feeling, or if I’m sensitive to it.

    Happy Sunday, all.

    A bit cooler today, so bringing in some vanilla notes. My Electric Sheep sample is running very low, so I’m defaulting to synths for the rest of the month. Hopefully I’ll be able to stretch it to August 31.

    I returned to real life (home) and killed the last of the Sheep. I thought there’d be two shaves left, but this is it. At least I made it to almost the end of the month. One more day off and then back to work.
