Theme: New Year, New You - This is my first time with Adopted Acres. This is the scent they put into the musk-off challenge on Fbook to compete against TCB APEX.

The soap base is pretty nice. It's very soft but not quite a cream. It took plenty of water. Next time, I'll go a bit heavier on soap. The scent is good to my nose - confirmed musky.

Scent notes: white musk, caress musk, "muscenone," cinnamon, sun-dried hay, castoreum, warm oud, gasoline, and ambered woods

Daily Challenge: New You, Same old you - I only have 64 shaves on my Stirling x Zenith 31mm brush, so I'm using the Zenith 507U (145 shaves). L3++ has 263 shaves on it. The Captains bowl is my only bowl. So, I changed my current setup for today's challenge. I don't like changing. Change sucks. Sheesh! What I do for points. :)

Today's entry was brought to you in part by the Shaving Data System by @walden.
