Saturday, November 09, 2024: FLS Sample Saturday

  • Brush: Zenith - B21 boar
  • Razor: Gillette - Super Speed Black Tip
  • Blade: Gillette - Perma-Sharp (4)
  • Lather: Stirling - Bonafide
  • Post: Mennen - Skin Bracer Aftershave splash
  • Post: Nivea - Sensitive Post Shave Balm
  • Frag: Barrister and Mann - Fougère Aromatique

A couple weepers on my jawline this morning. I think I flew a bit too close to the sun.

Bonafide is a pleasant scent, but not quite as strong as I tend to prefer. At this point in my journey, I want my soap to punch me in the damn face with fragrance. This, though very nice, was not that.

I enjoyed the combo of Skin Bracer and Fougère Angelique. It's a pity Mennen won't be making Skin Bracer anymore, I quite like it for a cheap aftershave.

Off to do all of the laundry. Have a great Saturday y'all.
