December 9, 2023: Rinse and Repeat

  • Preshave: Proraso Green Preshave
  • Brush: Semogue C3 Galahad Horse ๐ŸŽ
  • Razor: Merkur 34C
  • Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (38)
  • Lather: Cella Aloe Vera
  • Post Shave: Mennen Skin Bracer
  • Post Shave: Nivea After Shave Balm
  • Fragrance: Rogue Perfumery Mon Bon Monsieur

Yesterday's shave was so good, I had to do it again. It helped that the combo 34C + old blade left me with the impression that I should do it today. The Cella has a really nice scent - unfortunately a very discreet one, that I get noseblind to very fast.

I had ordered a few perfume decants, mainly from Rogue Perfumery. Mon Bon Monsieur smells generically good, and very clean. On Fragrantica, someone described it as a mall perfume from the 80s. That's not completely false, but also not a bad thing.

Have a good night!
