Autumn Ash was one of my first love-on-first sniff soaps, and now it’s a cherished treasure to be used sparingly. It has 15 scent notes, that really tell a story of warm, sweet, smokey autumn.
One pass ATG with the Horizon on 4 went very well. This razor feels really smooth, and by now (third use) I’ve got the angle locked in and an don’t need a lot of cleanup work. This razor goes on the to-buy list for me. Innovation in safety razors is rare, and this mechanism is novel, simple, and functional.

Theme: Scent notes for Phantom of Kyiv (12):
Challenge: Busted out the MMOC for the single pass challenge. Unsurprisingly I had great (DFS+) results. Once you get the hang of it, this is one efficient and comfortable razor.
$SELFCARE - I took a sick day from work today mostly just because I’ve been feeling overwhelmed and that this position/company isn’t right for me. It was nice to take a slower day. I also spent some time looking at job postings to start seeing what’s out there right now.
$FOF - Phantom of Kyiv is a mostly bright scent. I pick up a soft mix of orange, lemon, rose, and pine. It feels fresh and a little floral, with a nice lightness to it.
Next, I layered on Tres Matres, which adds more complexity while still keeping things bright. It has notes like pink grapefruit, green mango, yuzu, bergamot, aldehydes, elemi, freesia, jasmine, cedarwood, and sandalwood. The citrus and light woods create a nice balance between the fresh vibe of Phantom of Kyiv and the darker scent that comes after.
Finally, I finished with Varen. It’s deep, green, and earthy, with lots of oakwood and a damp forest feel. It really grounds everything and shifts the whole blend in a darker, more intense direction.
