2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Very nice shave today. As far as I know, sandalwood is the only accord that is marketed with Barrister and Mann Sandalwood. In searching around, I found that it was first developed as an accord for Fougère Gothique, so I think I'm correct that this is a one note fragrance.
I did time my lather making and filled out the form. I also included that process in this video.
Oops, I totally forgot about that form. Oh well!
In the past, I would have thought the judges would give you the point anyway. After listening to the podcasts, these judges seem to be sticklers for the rules. I’d give you the point. A person could cheat on the form as easily as in a post. All of this is about having fun.
I won't miss the point! I'm hardly playing. I don't even think I'm eligible for a prize since I sort of helped with planning (although hardly).
This is my 4th year. I don’t care about, or pay attention to, points. I do it for the entertainment and to take part in the community.
