    Theme: All my software is unscented. Thanks for the smush u/hugbckt. The soap was pretty mid (imo) but gave me a great shave in the end.

    Challenge: I haven’t been around long enough to see many bases come and go. I have used BaM Soft Heart, and it’s certainly a great base. I’m not sure whether it’s much better than their current offerings though.

    I do wish Talent Soap Factory was still doing their previous base that included sweet almond oil. It’s a better base than the mango butter one.

    It’s difficult to pick favorite bases – we’re truly spoiled for choice. My current favorite is a toss-up between Mike’s, Stirling, and Catie’s Bubbles premium. All excellent performers at an excellent price.

    $SELFCARE - I’m pretty sure I made the decision to quit my job today. Feels like self-care to me.

    $FOF - All unscented is boring, so I added Molecule 01 at the end. This is a fun fragrance, as it really does fade in and out and change quite a bit while on skin.

    I genuinely have a hard time smelling the fragrance when I wear this, but my wife picks up on a strong cedar/pine/woodiness when I wear it. This was the end of my little decant, unsure whether I like this enough to buy more.
