Great BBS shave. No irritation with minor bleeders on my neck. Yeah, it’s been a while, but I’m finally back home after two weeks of vacationing. I grew a beard during that span, and it was fun while it lasted. But it’s more fun shaving and participating in this challenge I’m partaking in. I might be late to the party, but fear not. I’m here for the fun. I decided to participate in this challenge for AA just because I had a Stirling mutton tallow soap already, so this was a perfect opportunity to take advantage of. The scent from it is awesome, which was the main reason I bought it in the first place. Here’s the pic to comply. Enough rambling, this shave went well without issue despite being away for two weeks, which is a nice surprise as I was worried my skills would decline as a result of the vacation. Overall, great shave to kick off AA on a high note. I’m back, and let’s get ready to rumble.
