Some great smells today. Snippid is starting to present itself as a semi-dank greenish scent, so Varen seemed to work nicely with it. Don't get me wrong, though… the scents are a lot different.
The Slim Adjustable was my very first DE razor. I bought it from u/thebruhestmoments, and in my opinion it worked well as a first razor. I pretty quickly found a sweet spot with setting 3. Today I used setting 4 and it felt nice and mild. Very close shave.
