Brush: Zenith B8 (XL aluminium handle, 28 mm × 57 mm boar)

Lather: Barrister and Mann – Nocturne
Post Shave: Barrister and Mann – Nocturne
Fragrance: Southern Witchcrafts – Autumn Ash

Ugh, we're postponing our vacation in the mountains because Djunior came home from daycare with a fever 😭. Let's hope it's just a day or two.

It's officially winter now, but I still felt like Autumn Ash and Nocturne. Two wonderful scents for the colder weather.

I hope Djunior’s illness is short-lived and the family can enjoy the winter break.

Once the leaves have fallen, the weather here in late autumn is pretty much the same a winter. I use this as an excuse to use autumn scents whenever I feel like it :)

Hope your son gets well soon, fevers suck. At least you can always do your mini-vacation later 🍀

Thanks! Yeah, we're a bit flexible, luckily!
