SSL kinda goes hand in hand with my Kryptonite post yesterday, and my playing it safe early on with Lime scents.
SSL was the first "abstract" or "complicated" scent I bought. The Lime sold me. I was sure what to expect, but I was blown away by how good it was. SSL EdT was also the first frag I bought for myself. In my entire life. I don't use it very much these days. I used it once when I was sick, and now the scent throws me off a little. It's still really good, however, and Mrs. Pudding still loves it. It doesn't mess with me like it used to.
This tub is also closest to Death.
For the side challenge: I, like a lot of open blade users, prefer a thicc and drippy lather. So today, I used a paste. It was a lot quicker, but it was ass. That's not what I want in a lather. I never got into this with the thought that I was going to save time or money. I like spending the time to dial in a lather, almost to the point of breaking it. Wet and slick, that's where it's at. If I had used an alcohol splash, I would have finished this shave with tons of feedback. It's also kind of a pain to rinse off my blade, I want it to slop off with gravity and a splash of water. The proof is in the pudding.
Good shave today, all things considered.
