Ginger's Garden Rose Petals aftershave
The last time I used the Soap Commander, I had to work pretty hard to get good lather, but this time it was quite easy. Its scent is for me the best fresh, true rose in a soap.

For me they are about equal: the Soap Commander is the best rose soap, and the AoS is the best cream.

XPEC Unscented shaving cream (v.1) + Rose Absolute Trilogy Hydrosol + Ethos Grooming Mélange d'Agrumes
Wilkinson Bonded System (1)
Roger & Gallet l'Homme aftershave
Nothing makes better lather physically than the old-version XPEC creams, and the drops of rose and citrus made the scent perfect for the end of summer.

COVID Quarantine Day 4.
Still doing okay. Seem a little better than I have been feeling. The "Little dudes" as @NurseDave put it are starting to work.
Thought I could detect just the slightest flavor when I had my coffee this morning. Hopefully my sense of taste is starting to return. My sniffer is still broke unfortunately.
Great shave today though. This is probably going to be my go-to shave until things return to normal. Great performance. The scent (as I remember it) is light and was more on the medicinal side. Finished with a splash of Stirling's Eucalyptus Mint witch hazel (hoping to smell something... Nope )
Hopefully tomorrow continues to show improvement.
Have a great day.

Soap Stirling Boat Drinks
Brush Yaqi 24mm Green Mink
Razor Henkels Friodur 472
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel Lemon Chill + Stirling Iced Pineapple
A wonderfully happy scent from this soap. The lather is just so creamy and very slick...
Reached my 70th SR shave with this razor. Very enjoyable session. The razor's edge was as smooth and comfortable in 3passes without any issues for a mixed dfs/ccs/sas result. Aftershaves were awesome!
