Cologne Russe into Tabac was an idea that occured to me while lathering and it fit surprisingly well. I can’t explain why just by looking at the scent notes for Cologne Russe, but there’s a warmth to the scent that fits well with the stank.
Stirling Gentleman was a great top-off. I love the warm creamy tobacco in this scent.

-> 2 passes on the head, 1 on the neck. Solid shave, but overhydrated the lather.
My cold is thankfully fading away, I think it’s safe to attend nursing school tomorrow. However, my nose is still a bit stuffed and I can only smell menthol from this soap. It’s thankfully not awfully cold which would be harsh in the current weather, but noticeable enough for me.
I seem to have forgotten how to use hard soaps - got the lather too wet and it was quite thin today. Very slick, but almost no protection. Thankfully, the Thorn doesn’t need much despite the menacing name.
I had a bit of a skin breakout today after accidentally using a peppermint shower gel on my face too - currently I look like during the worst parts of puberty, but thankfully it’s already healing due to the ointments I used. Kinda interesting, never had a problem with peppermint as an ingredient before - I suspect it’s the high amount of EO in the product. Still, I’m glad that nursing school starts again tomorrow. Now it’s the stressful time before our exams this year, but it provides a welcome break from the monotony of work. Hope everyone had a relaxing weekend!
