    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


I think that the blend of rose, passion fruit and musk in this scent is very well done. This comes across as a single fragrance. Kind of refreshing and a great way to start the day.

Sunday, March 24, 2024: Sunny Sunday, Rainy Sunday


The Spearhead soap base is great, even though I'm not a huge fan of the scent of Spiced. I like Pitralon more and more.

Have a good Sunday!

Yesterday's tight match-up was the most exhilarating one so far. I'm impressed how we Highlanders almost held our own against the mighty Mammoth Mafia. I'm looking forward the final four round. Both match-ups are David vs Goliath situations and I'm curious to see what happens.

For today, I chose to shave with the 800-pound gorilla of tomorrow's match. Great shave, great scents.
