Just have to say - what a great day spent outdoors today, got in an morning bike ride and had an afternoon picnic in the park maybe the airbud rule is onto something. Felt like I was shaving the whole time.

You can see the ring of death on the Proraso soap, I've been aggressively trying to kill this tub, only because I want to bring more soaps into the rotation. I'm guessing 10-15 more shaves and I'll kill this tub.

Stetsons is also on its last legs.

The Incanto bottle I've had for years and no wonder it's still around. Generic mild smell nothing special and doesn't last much anyways, I hardly use it, maybe I should bin it

Challenge: I've never been left more unsatisfied while making a lather. No soap blooming, wet my brush and squeezed all the water out. Ended up with this sad looking lather, tried to swirl it onto my face and create more suds but no such luck. Thankfully there was no tugging plus the Ares/Supermax combination has been super smooth for me to begin with, so it was all good. Maybe the shower right before also helped to soften the hair up.
