Did a lime themed shave today to kick things off and stay on the daily theme. Got this smush of CRSW from a bud because I had never tried their soaps before. Wasn’t spectacularly slick but my face feels good.
No tribute for u/priusaurus because I do not worship false idols.

Day 30 of APRil, it’s finally done! Used my stankiest APR for the final day. Gonna go detox with a cheap dupe in good soap tomorrow.
No idea how it compares to a SOC brush, but I quite like the Pegasus. It’s a bit scritchy still, so face feel isn’t great, but it lathers soap very well and its smaller size makes it great for APR tubs or Cbubs 2oz sample tubs where larger brushes are kind of a PITA
