I was in a hurry to shave, and brain-farted thinking today was Wednesday. I grabbed the first SW sample I saw and started building lather. It wasn't until I finished shaving that I realized today is Tuesday. Woops! Guess I'll have to break out Tabac tomorrow!

My caveman nose has difficulty coming to terms with Carpathia. I want to like it, but my nose doesn't agree. I think I'll focus on finishing this sample after LG and then move on to SW scents my nose likes. Happy shaving and have a wonderful day.

I wasn't feeling well enough to think (but well enough to shave!) so I grabbed the Peach sample I'm trying to eradicate. I also grabbed my freshly minted C&H Spice Blow handle with v23 knot. I've always wanted a mixed-material handle and IMO /u/geekyoldrob knocked it out of the park with how he sandwiched the maple burl with the beige matte resin ferrule with the metallic copper(?) swirl base. For its first use, the v23 made great lather and an easy-going BBS shave was the result. Happy shaving and have a wonderful day.

There was one shave's worth of soap in the .5 oz Peach sample, so I decided to eradicate it on LG eve. I savored every moment of the shave since this will be the last time that I get to call all of the shaving shots for a while. Happy shaving and have a wonderful day.
