June 7, 2024 - Vetiver You Want

• Prep: Warm Shower
• Brush: Wild West Brushworks - Invasion - 26mm Oumo SHD #SHD #FRANKENBRUSH
• Razor: GEM Junior 1912 #FLIPTOP
• Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (5)
• Lather: Mike's Natural Soaps - Vetiver
• Post Shave: Wet Shaving Products - Fresh Vetiver
• Fragrance: Wet Shaving Products - Fresh Vetiver

First off, a huge thank you to u/Tetriside for the Mike's smoosh for today's shave. As far as the shave, not having used Vetiver before I was unsure what to expect. However, as I lathered in my bowl, a bowl again even after yesterday because of the sample, I was transported to a warm summer evening, surrounded by the lush greenery of a rural landscape. The earthy, woody aroma of the vetiver enveloped me, and I felt a sense of clarity and purpose wash over me. Suddenly, the worries and doubts that had been plaguing me for weeks seemed to fade away, replaced by a sense of determination and resolve. I felt a renewed commitment to being a better person, living with intention and compassion, and positively impacting the world around me. I rinsed off the soap, applied the aftershave and cologne, and began my day. I felt a sense of hope and optimism that I hadn't felt in a long time, and I knew that this small act of self-care had set me on the path toward becoming the best version of myself. Of course, that could all have been from the small amount of drugs I've taken since yesterday after potentially breaking my ankle, but I blame the vetiver.

The daily challenge was an easy one as I actually quite enjoy ATG.
