December 10, 2023: Double Ishtar
Inspired by @spj_hook@sub.wetshaving.social's shave yesterday, I got out my Slim Adjustable (, aggressive to milf ๐). I also resumed my exploration why Ishtar doesn't lather that well. It's not the Proraso Preshave. I used the Rock brush - really like a soft cloud on the face, but 28mm is a bit excessive. Anyways, it took some work, but I got to YouTube lather.
Lathered, Ishtar doesn't smell anything anymore (or at least, I cannot detect anything). I combined it with Ishtar from Rogue Perfumery - which is a nice enough scent, but should really be named Flowery Balcony or something like that. Clearly, Our Lady of Nineveh wouldn't smell like that!
Have a good night!
Awesome, it's not every day that I inspire someone!
