The Veg
Well well, what can I say. I do believe I am chosen. I received a care package from Jim
@jluc a few day ago that contained 100 Sharp Star blades, the Stirling
Blood on Steel set from the meetup, and a bottle of The Veg. I also received the 30DC Meetup Brush from Neal yesterday so I had to put that into play too! I applied a nice this layer of soap from the Wilkinson Sword Shave stick and began to lather. First thing I noticed is that this 28mm SynBad knot has way more backbone then my 30mm, so much so that I really had to persuade it to splay while face lathering. Once I got it to splay thought it really whipped up a nice lather in no time. First shave on a new Personna blade, that get the job done but they are not as sharp as the Schick IMO. Finished the shave off with a cold water rinse, and now the moment of truth. Tried to get just a few drops of The Veg of my hands but it poured out like a faucet. Strong initial pungent lilac scent, didn't like that so much but it faded fast. What I was left with was a powdery vanilla type scent with just a hint of lilac. Asked my wife what she though. She said it smelled like baby powder, but wasn't repulsed by it and didn't call it "old man" so I guess it's ok. Have a great weekend my friends!
TGIF!!
