K.I.S.S: Day 21 of Lather Games
Theme justification: Nordic Shaving Company's Coffee is just that: "This soap has a pleasant and rich, even a little bit sweet scent of fresh roasted coffee.", and it's a good start for a brunch beverage themed scentscape: coffee followed refreshing orange juice (also one scent note) and a mint Julep (unfortunately multiple scent notes, but who's counting)
Oh, I like this razor. Today I used it on level 8, where it has a good amount of blade feel, but it mostly it's smooth and efficient. I might find some rare safety razor thrill for this one.
I applaud those people who are designing razors for artist club blades. Assuming I like it when it gets to me, Iβll probably buy one just to support the effort that went into it. The AC razor has to have a pretty small market and one where there isnβt much repeat business. Even Gillette sold razors as a way to sell razor blades.
Yeah, I'm thinking the same. I'll probably but this one, just to support the effort. Innovation is rare, and this is really, really functional innovation
