-> 1 pass on the head, 2 on the face. Minor irritation on the face, otherwise a very enjoyable shave.

Had a busy day. Apart from studying, I also cleaned out my old car and put its summer tires in the trunk. Tomorrow it’s the final drive with it - I’m leaving it at the dealership and Wednesday I’ll pick up my new car! A bit excited, a bit sad. My old car has gone through a lot with me, but sadly it’s falling apart and is definitely at the right time for permanent retirement. I’ll need to get a rental car tomorrow, I hope they have something small. Don’t really need something as big and long like my current old car if I have to be extra careful…

FMoM is such a great tobacco scent. Perhaps it’d be my top spot if HoM Tobacconist wouldn’t exist. Still, this one is beautifully dark and comparable to a high quality cigar. I had to work a bit harder than usual to get a great lather and had to redo it for the face shave, but I chalk this up to nerves - still, it was as great as can be. While I liked the other B&M bases I tried so far (thanks to PIFs and generous samples), Omnibus is really high quality. Especially noticeable on head shaves, where one needs good residual slickness for an even result.

Hope everyone had a nice weekend. 👍🏻
