Late AF head shave. Oh well, at least I got it done! 1 pass, very comfortable. No irritation whatsoever.

Today's fragrance... Well, I only added it to my sample pack to get the necessary amount of stuff to ship. Needless to say, I'm unimpressed. It starts quite similar to Versace Eros, but then it quickly fades to an overbearingly sweet vanilla scent. Something I'd rather smell on a lady than on myself, IMHO. The tonka bean and tobacco is barely noticeable. It's much more like scented candles. Not really like the classic JPG Le Male. Perhaps for a stark contrast, I should wear Valley of Ashes tomorrow?
