Finally some contemplation! Back in 2018 I bought myself a bottle of contemplation aftershave on sale and really enjoyed the scent. Tthe bright scent that is floral but also has that clary sage note, that I find quite enjoyable. So when contemplation soap was released again, I jumped on it. Really enjoyed the scent/shave today.

The Feather blade is starting to get a little tuggy - it didn't feel as sharp as the previous shaves with it. I might try it in another 'more blade feel' razor one more time before retiring the blade. However, it still does cut very well and ended up with an excellent shave.

First spray of IA's soft lawn today - it's green, light and not too offensive for a work environment. I find it's very much on point for IA frags - sort of their signature in a way - the scents don't project excessively. I generally only do one spray but I feel I could get away with a couple with soft lawn. It does remind me of tennis balls.
