1 pass head shave. I actually had the luxury of shaving twice today - at morning under the shower with a cream and a disposable and now my "real" night shave.

So the funeral is coming up tomorrow. I chose my most fitting scent. Funny to say it, but I actually bought this as a sub exclusive and "meme soap" if one could call it that. Same as some people buy Midnight Stag just to annoy their wife/fiance. But over time, this scent has grown on me. As I said in a previous SOTD, despite the dark nature I find it oddly comfortable to wear. I even consider wearing the EdP tomorrow, weird as it may sound. Encre Noir a L'Extreme would be another contender due to the dark vetiver vibes. I'm currently not happy and I can't smell happy either. Sometimes it feels good to revel in your darker feelings...

That aside, I hope you're all well and wish you a happier weekend than mine. ๐Ÿค๐Ÿป
