2020-12-12, Saturday Misty, gray day that asked for Vetiver. I think I'm making some mistakes because, despite reading praise for this tallow soap, I can't get a proper lather. What's more, it's a vetiver that doesn't catch me: too sweet for my taste. As soon as I can I'll marry it to a fatter soap and see what happens. This oldie razor is really good and I've neglected it for years.... I chose well: this is a vetiver day! And now I have an excellent fragrance on my face.
