We left for a staycation locally today- it is amazing how two nights’ wares takes up more space when you are accounting for two days of entirely separate shaves. First world problems, clearly.
Plunder reminds me of cruises as this was the only soap I carried. The argument for spice is straightforward- it’s essentially gunpowder and spice. Big Scent Energy is a powerful portrait of amber, florals, but also cardamom. I get pepper as well. Nobody will miss your presence with BSE. Brassing is only present on my 34C where the handle has threading to accept the cap, but that still seems to meet criteria for me.
My most recent new hobby is espresso. My most recent new-found coffee addiction is an aerocino. Essentially, you take an espresso shot, cover it in ice, then use an espresso steam wand to melt the ice while pulling aeration into the espresso similar to milk frothing. What you get is a cold coffee beverage, essentially an americano, but aerated to a mouthfeel similar to a nitro-pulled drink. so, ask for this next time you are at a coffee shop and enjoy a cold summer coffee treat.
