Daily Theme: RE Lavender on Lavendursday. Shave time.
The Challenge/Shave: Here in Singapore everyone lives in high-rise apartment/condo buildings. I live in a corner unit, so my balcony "technically" meets the challenge criteria because it only has one wall. Here's my setup, and if you look closely, you'll see a train at the station across from me. Here's a couple horrible attempts to capture passing trains at the beginning and during the first pass. I gave up trying to take artsy-fartsy shaving pics and took a couple straight on train shots before and after my second pass.
Prior to today I was not a fan of RE Lavender's scent. Maybe it was the outdoor air, or maybe it was because my lather-building technique has improved, but I really enjoyed today's lather. In spite of the cheap-@$$ hardware and crappy mirror I used; I ended up with a DFS. I'll take that any day. #ROTY
