09.01.2025 - Vor V before Midnight
-> 1-pass head shave. Quick, but a good one.
I actually bothered to search for at least one brush. Figured I might as well re-decorate now that I have had to tidy things up everywhere: I am looking for a nice pegboard (you know, like the kind you see in workshops for hanging up tools in an organized manner) to give my brushes and razors a nice place in my tiny bathroom.
Anyways, Vor V is a soap I won together with two NO soaps in a PIF once. It's still going strong. It was the first WK soap I ever used and it really convinced me that I need more. Of course it helped that it's a dupe/hommage to TF Tuscan Leather, one of my all-time favs. This here is a bit heavier on the raspberry note, but actually that's quite welcome. What started as a day with lots of rain ended with lots of snow. It will be a wet and muddy mess tomorrow, but at least I could use some warm scents.
Apocalypse is also rather fruity and fresh, much more of a summer vibe scent. But it still fits good enough with Vor V. Plus, HAGS makes good aftershave products - IMHO, these are even better than the soaps by them. Good skincare, no shitty ingredients, absorbs fast. What else could you wish for?
