AA24 - Day 21 - Westman Wednesday

Subtle lavender with bright citrus notes, warm vanilla, and woody base notes, (Desas)sossego is an understated and welcoming scent.

WestMan is under appreciated IMO. Eufros fits that category as well.

Progress Album

Whew! 3.6 grams today. Loaded it like it's a rental. The neat thing about this soap base (and others, of course) is that if you load more soap, the lather quality goes off the charts. Does it perform better? I say yes, sure. But more importantly, it LOOKS better. And that's what we're all here for -- good looking lather.

Edge Condition Album


Pretty much a status quo shave, but perhaps a little less close than the last few shaves I've had. I took a microscope photo of the edge and also added it to the album.
