Fjellheim (Fitjar Islands) pine, juniper, cedar
Shave 11 ・ ≈ 54 shaves left
The scent of Fjellheim, compared to the likes of Barrister & Mann’s robust Taiga, may leave something to be desired. You can make out the individual notes of pine, juniper, and cedar with relative ease, but the volume has been dialed down a notch or two. While there is a pleasant enough aroma to be had while loading the brush and smearing the lather on your face, it quickly fades, leaving behind a fragrance that is tidy but somewhat unremarkable. That’s not to say the scent is unpleasant in any way, but rather that it lacks pizzazz. To remedy this, I plan to sprinkle a bit of menthol powder on the puck tomorrow in the hopes of adding a little sparkle to the experience.

Had the guys' annual family ski trip in my neck of the woods. Got WAY too much snow for most of their comfort levels (east coasters, expecting sun and groomers) - bummer - so my cousin and I got the nod to go just go rip - excellent. *Some turns were up to my waist. They would've HATED it hahaha!
