    Razor: Blackland Blackbird Steel (OC and SB)/Merkur Mustache and Eyebrow Razor
    Blade: Personna Lab Blue (3)/Merkur Mustache and Eyebrow Blade (14)

    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.
