I bought this sample of Cremoso from Eleven last June. I had probably planned to use it in last year's LG. Looking at the list of software vendors, I remembered that I had it. It's marketed as "Summer in a jar!" However, I get more of a toasted coconut cookie from it. It's not bad, but not what I expected once it was lathered. I hadn't used either the Island Man AS or the Shilo EdP either.
The brush handle is my prize from last year's LG. I had put it aside, trying to find the right knot. It finally came together recently with AP Shave Co MiG knot, and using it today seemed appropriate.
I've had this Weck since last AA. I had intended to use it then, but chickened out at the last moment. It's just been sitting on my shelf since then. I wasn't able to get the closest shave with the Weck, but it wasn't too bad. More practice is needed. Since it's still really just a shavette with a different type of blade, I don't think it passes for today's challenge.
Best of luck to everyone playing in the games this year. I'm looking forward to seeing what will unfold. This community never ceases to surprise and amaze me.
