Long day, didn't have a chance to shave until after little Walden was in bed. I dropped him off at daycare, went for a mountain bike ride, went back to his daycare in the afternoon for "trunk-or-treat", then went straight to a fall festival at a nearby farm until it was time to get him home to bed. Whew!
I'm a discerning shaver, and I know for a fact that I prefer lathers with "more soap, more water". Still, I decided to put Vegan Omnibus to the test and loaded very lightly. I had enough lather, and the shave seemed to go ok. I can see why some people might try and be frugal and get by with lathers like this one, but man it's so much nicer with more soap.
What's a trunk-or-treat?
Parents line their cars up at daycare (or wherever) and decorate the backs of their cars and hand out candy for Halloween. The little kids were all dressed up, so it's pretty cute.
I’m not buying all this soap to be frugal! ;)
