Den tour shave 2
Same gear bar soap.
Caries bubbles - la marche du rasage Aquatic fougere is probably how I'd see this soup. It has a green base with a very watery top. It's the only caties I own and is a little sample jar that I got early in my r/ days from kammander Kim in a pif or Christmas secret Santa. It gives me a bit of irritation which I always thought was the oakmoss but then varen doesn't so it must be one of the other notes.

I don't have any Wholly Kaw and would need to do some mental gymnastics to argue that I have a soap that matches half the scent notes for today's theme. 15 days is a good run, I definitely made it further than I expected. Out is out is out though.
Best of luck to the rest of the contestants, and big thanks to @enndeegee for the super fun idea!
Congrats on making it this far. I offer you a sincerely firm handshake.

- Brush: Maggard 24mm Tuxedo Synthetic
- Razor: Gillette Tech (Z-4)
- Blade: Personna 74 (23)
- Lather: Barrister & Mann - Vespers - Soap
- Post Shave: Chatillon Lux - Nefertiti - Aftershave
Saxe Sunday. Vespers is great. This blade, which has been starting to feel less than sharp, felt better today. Probably a testament to Omnibus. I don't have any evidence, but I feel like since B&M soaps can hold so much water, they can also "release" a lot of water into the whiskers, making them softer. It's probably more complicated than that. Either way, great shave.
