Information Overload
Ok so I flipped around on this one so much, desperately trying to find one that would work for my calender. This one was originally pegged for Halloween, before Boonana came to the rescue. To my relief this one has 11 scent notes:
Geranium, Raspberry, Nutmeg, Saffron, Oud, Black Tea, Cashmeran, Musk, Leather, Amber and Vanilla.
Honestly though, with my nose I could only really identify Raspberry, Leather and Vanilla, what I do know is that I like it, so much so that I went to the effort of getting the scent which is no easy feat over here.
Challenge - Leftorium Challenge
With last year's attempt to have my Mrs have a go at my face with a blade (there's trust there), I thought with an additional year on her I could get the daughter (5 y/o) involved. Unfortunately I made the grievous error of picking the Gen 1 CG Lvl 3, I could have robbed the other half's leaf, lesson learnt.
The Mrs did suggest giving it to her without the blade, but I told her that defeats the purpose. Admittedly it started to tingle somewhat when she kept going over the same area, and I was sweating like a vicar in a house of ill repute, purely out of nerves. I let her go for the one pass, she got most of the way through, with one nerve wracking moment on the neck against the grain. So here was my daughter's effort, again sped up a lot so as not to waste people's time.
I will admit I bottled it after that, took control and went to finish off the remaining passes with my left hand, which was uneventful barring a couple of slight nicks, one the chin and neck. So despite her not completing the full shave she still get a dessert as a reward!
