SOTN Wednesday
Wasn't it Wednesday a week ago?

prep - shower with Caprina Fresh Goat’s Milk Original Formula bath bar
razor - Gillette Long-Comb New
blade - Shaverboy Super Stainless (12)
brush - Semogue 620
soap - Truefitt & Hill West Indian Limes cream (from a 5 g sample packet)
post - warm water rinse, DSA “Pure & Natural” alum, cold water rinse
aftershave - Stetson Aftershave and Stetson Cologne
music - streaming Дэлхийн Монголчуудын MGLRADIO нь (from Ulaanbaatar)


Results - BBS.
That T&F West Indian Limes is quite nice, and is one of the few Lime-scented soap I can use without feeling a bit of mid-shave irritation. I really must make lists of good vs bad Lime soaps, and see if I can correlate any of the ingredients to the irritation.


The MGLRadio was mostly talk tonight (Mongolian?), but it was interesting, even though I understood not one word. At times it sounded like Russian, but with a few Japanese-sounding words thrown in, plus Japanese-like cadence and phonemes.
Oh - actually I understood two of the words: "facebook" and "Instagram".
