Fragrance: Chiseled Face Groomatorium - Midnight Stag
Turns out my AA gear is the lowest soap I have. THe rest of the trifecta too. We'll see if I can swing another month out of everything. Genuinely enjoy this scent but will admit it does get to be a lot by the end of the month. My CFG Banana is also getting dangerously low. I also have a half full Midnight Stag Balm that I use interchangedly during AA. My frag may not actually make it through AA. Admittedly I do have a back up Stag tub on standby.
Unfortunately CFG doesn't have a great base for today's challenge. It get thin and airy very quickly. It actually produces a very quick lather with little water and work, quickly hitting it's sweet spot. So instead of ideally hydrated lather, I went on the drier side. The edges of the lather on my face were completely after I finished lathering. It would've been a lot worse were it a soft soap that is easily overloaded. That paste makes any razor stop in it's tracks.
