Reflection is really nice. I actually got to scrolling late on Maggard and bought a set of it.

3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Very refreshing St. Patrick's day shave with SSL.
A repeat of yesterday's Leather + Hâttric combo because it was so nice.

Ishtar is slightly green, and that will have to do for St. Patrick's day.
Have a good night!

I really like the sheep base, but Varen gives me a bit more frag burn than I'd like. Unfortunate, since I really like the scent. I might rotate this one out for Scot's Pine or something.
Definitely gives an excellent shave though!
Dang frag burn with Varen?
Yeah it’s a bummer. I think it might be the oakmoss

Today is the perfect day for Vespers. It's a bit gloomy and drizzling, yet still sort of pleasant outside.

A quick evening shave to give MdC Absinthe a try. It's a nice scent, though I get more mint than anise so far. It also gave my face a tiny tingle -- I'm hoping I'm not also sensitive to anise! It might be something else though, Black Ice doesn't give me the same feeling. We'll see.
The lather was great though, can't complain there.

Vandal's unique scent profile of Spray Paint and Melon paired perfectly with the urban Petrichor, Son et Lumiere.
