11.08.2024 - Shaman shave test
-> 2 pass head shave and 1 pass around the beard. Good shave!
First try of E&S Shaman. It was a bit tricky to lather up, but once I managed to do so it totally exploded with lather. That's why I did more passes than usual. The scent is a interesting mix. Different kinds of tobacco (pipe and flower), leather, some woody notes... I can definitely see what they were aiming for with the name & tub art. Also, their base made my skin feel really good! In general, a very positive first impression of this soap. However, more shaves will be required of course.
Had a bit of a uneventful weekend, apart from setting up my new smartphone today. All this signing in for every app again was a bit annoying, but the phone also came with some wireless headphones as a freebie which are surprisingly comfortable to wear atm. If something is looking a bit off in my posts, it's probably because I still need to set everything back up the way I'm used to do things!
