“The Disney Princess’s Apprentice”
Shave #68 (400 Open Blade Shaves) of 2020:
Gear: Blackland Vector, Feather Pro blade, Sorrentino 1st Anniversary TSC badger brush, CBL Grassroots Lavender soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, Speick AS, and Guerlain Homme L’Eau Boise to finish!
Ended up staying home today from services. The middle son is going through a cleanse because he has some major health check procedures tomorrow.
Took advantage of the morning by being a bit lazy, sleeping in, then having a leisurely cup of coffee. Remembered that Spring came early and the grass had already shot back up from two weeks ago. Good time to test my face buffs from SA company again. Seemed to work like a charm! It may have helped that there were intermittent rains yesterday, but at least I didn’t dissolve into a snotty, weepy mess!
Showered post yard work and shaved. Popped in a new Feather Pro, a known quantity; much better than the last two mystery blades. Tried CBL Grassroots Lavender for the first time...delightful scent, could maybe use a step up in scent strength, but highly enjoyable!
Frag choice today was Guerlain Homme L’Eau Boise. World difference between this and Homme L’Eau. Not sure how the latter is even considered a riff on Homme really; it smelled great washing off this afternoon and on my short, otherwise a nope. Anyway, Boise was completely the opposite and shoots straight up toward the top of the tester list. I actually prefer it the same as, maybe more than, Vetiver Intense. Boise is a much less muddled scent, not as sweet. It has a very noticeable lemony opening, then settles into a crisp vetiver and what I assume is the cyphre, green, mossy scent. Very nice! I hope it has some longevity!
For those keeping track at home:
Guerlain Scents (roughly in order of preference):
- Vetiver
- Homme L’Eau Boise
- Vetiver Intense
- Homme Eau De Parfum
- L’Homme Ideal L’Intense
- Homme L’Eau
Have a blessed Sunday all!
