KJ, of the spider liking J's, sent me a sample of Bee Hive that I finally remembered to pull into the bathroom. I recall that several people were using Bee Hive a bit ago, but couldn't remember what their thoughts were. This is a nice scent. Not to peppery, not too clovey, and not too sweet. Performance was good with an easy lather and decent residual slickness. I'm thinking it didn't stand out, but individual performance marks were at the level I would buy if there was a scent or something that peaked my interest.
2nd shave with the Baili. It was a bit less tuggy than yesterday, but not totally smooth. I needed a bit more clean-up than usual but did end up with a BBS and again, very little alum sting. From the feeling of the shave, I again thought I was going to have more burn or irritation. So there is some roughness during the shave, but it doesn't show effect in the post shave. Interesting.
I'm feeling my a
ge again today. I was a little too aggressive trying to pull that ivy out of the ground and my shoulders and neck are reminding me not to do anything as hard as I possibly can any more.
