Jul. 12, 2023 - I’m not Fat, I’m just Fuffly!

Fufluns scent is “everything sweet that comes from green” which is a great description as I have a really hard time picking out any individual scent. Instead I get just this feeling of walking outside through a vineyard or orchard, it’s not a dirty scent, but reminds me of nature in a way. Shire 2 was a great pairing of a different type of green/outdoors scent. The Fresh Air and Violets take you to a place outside but it’s not as sweet as Fufluns.

For todays theme: “Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil” is listed as the first ingredient for both the soap and splash as you can see on the linked product pages! This was my first time using ALYM products (I think, for sure the splash) and it left a little to be desired. I also had just gone swimming in a salt water pool so my skin was dry as a bone when I tried to shave. I recently got this set so will have to revisit it at some point.

Todays challenge leads me to a bit of a dilemma. You see when I first started shaving I exclusively bowl lathered but over the past 6 months or so I’ve swapped to primarily face lathering. I guess that’s what happens when you actually get some decent brushes! So to combat that dilemma I decided to face lather my right side of my face and bowl lather my left side leaving no doubt that I did the reverse of my usual!

Todays #photocontest I leaned into the #Royal theme that AYLM logo has. It’s definitely a royal looking logo so I matched that theme with my setup!
