Great shave. Everything clicked. This blade in this razor is just incredible. I really enjoyed the scent of Port-Au-Prince today.
Port-Au-Prince has always been "the scent that could have been great" to me. The lemongrass has always been a turn off, both because I'm not a fan of the smell, and also because it has given me a small amount of frag burn (I assume it's the lemongrass because it's a known common irritant, and vetiver is not).
The Ariana and Evans method of continuing to use soap even though it burns you in an attempt to "teach" your skin to grin and bear it seems to be working. No tinge anymore. My nose also might be learning to ignore the lemongrass, as today it came across as just good ol' Vetiver.
