I'm seeing a lot of shave soaps out there people. For shame. Today I shaved with Trader Joe's Vitamin E Oil Blend. It was goopy and drippy and I had to reapply a bunch of times, but wasn't entirely terrible. Doesn't have much of a scent, but what’s there is not very pleasant, though the nice thing about it is that it doubles as a post shave too. My face feels really smooth but kind of greasy. I chose a razor that would come apart easily and wouldn't clog, but that didn't end up being necessary.
I chose Remote Learning as my fragrance today because it seems like a lot of people are going for nacho cheese or Mountain Dew themed shaves today, so Remote Learning out of solidarity. The Remote Learning soap has grown on me recently, and the splash is great, but the two scents together in this frag is pretty gross. So the unifying theme today is scents that are somewhat unpleasant.
I've never cleaned my brushes before, always being of the mindset that lathering with soap and then letting it dry is usually enough, and I've never had any issues. I did have a bit of trouble loading MOAR BOAR the other day so maybe I will try giving it a cleaning and seeing if that helps.
