Kikuboshi Special | Simpson | La Toja Manatiales + Bomb Custom (Vetiver/Cedar) + Glycerin | Thayers Lavender | Bomb ASB | Sigilli Athunis

I think a Vetiver/Cedar grenade went off in my shave den - and it made me HAPPY!!! I decided to go to an extreme today with the La Toja/Bomb uberlather. Not only was it phenomenal lather (actually some of the best ever), but it smelled like heaven! Once I got started, how could I stop? I only needed one pass to get a CCS, but I did three because the lather was so luxurious, the scent was so intoxicating, and the razor was such a joy. Now, I'm CBS! Then, to top things off with the matching Bomb ASB and the wonderful Vetiver and Cedar accord from Athunis. I must have done something right in a past life!

Great shaves. Thanks for sharing!
