Open Blade Shave #239:
Gear: Feather AC SS, Feather Pro blade (14), RR Game Changer .68, Personna Platinum blade (2), Yaqi SF synth, William’s (modern; as preshave) soap, Vito’s Extra Super soap, generic witch hazel, Speick AS, and Le Labo Bergamote 22 frag to finish!
Another lazy day, another late morning shave!
Went for the Vito’s today after a good William’s preshave soak. Great shave, only a little bit of irritation and a couple nicks - totally user error for chasing.
On to the Le Labo Bergamote 22! I was wrong yesterday, this one did not come in a spritz container, but the little stoppered glass vial. So I put a moderate amount on the pulse points with finger dabs. Nice, intense burst of green on application. The bergamot and cedar really come to the front, but are softened by the other notes, mostly the amber and grapefruit. This begins on the near manly side of scents but cools down to a unisex fragrance. Another one that will not be bought, though it is very pleasant. I should probably make that clarification. These first two trials (Uomo and Bergamote 22) are very nice and pleasant scents; I imagine they would do well for a number of folks, they are just not in the manly wheelhouse I’m looking for. I’m pleased to be able to try them!
In other things, we’ve been blessed to be treated to dinners by friends the last couple of nights. Nothing like having a nice, tasty, hot meal dropped off at your doorstep!
We are both getting plenty of rest. Looking forward to starting the Christmas festivities in earnest tomorrow. The missus’ initial pain meds and nerve block from the hospital are fully worn off now (she has prescribed pain meds though), and she is feeling a bit more discomfort and especially itching. Really trying to keep her from overdoing things. She is too used to being constantly on the go.
Happy Sunday all!
