I ended up being super busy and didn't have a chance for a shave until late. Even now I'm pressing it. I'll be brief.
This was my first time with AYLM. I had a little trouble building my lather on my first pass. I think I under loaded. The chill was strong, but not too strong. The scent was better than I was anticpating. Not overpowering or, in a way, synthetic(?) smelling, like candies. It was pleasant and fits summer well. This could be a good scent for hitting a summer BBQ.
My second pass I loaded more and had better results. Primary and residual slickness were there. Nothing that wow'd me, necessarily, but nothing to complain about. If I wasn't in a rush, I'm sure I could have gotten more out of it. Luckily, I have enough to try again.
My Splash pairing was less about scent pairing and more about vibe. It was just great summer scents all around. The scents did pair nicely, but that's just coincidence!
Overall, good shave. I wish I hadn't been in a hurry.
That puts it well!
It's simple, without being a caricature.
