My precious!
Got the Lilac Vegetal on once again today! I don't know what it is about this stuff. It leaves my face super smooth, tight, and soft.
It's definitely a whole different thing after decanting. Especially considering the first time I tried it, I needed to shower it off because it made me nauseous.
Welcome to the chosen, Sir TOVT Knight of the Veg Table. If you so desire join this brotherhood.

Another splendid mid-morning shave. Wonderful razor and blade pairing. One pass, with lots of buffing and drips of water from the faucet on the razor to keep it wet.
My 26/52 Shavemac is still displaying some scritch, unlike it's little 22/50 brother. Needs more cowbell.

ARKO!

Have a Good One

Gentlemen, happy to finally say I’m one of the chosen.

I went to the store yesterday and there was a bottle opened. Smelled it. Ok, weird, I don’t know. Sharp, sour. I put some on my skin, waited 2 min. Wow, that’s different. Floral, baby powder, sweet.

Waited a little more, I tried Special reserve, loved it, to the cart it went.

Back to the veg bottle, weird. I smelled my hand, wonderful floral talc scent. Ok, I’ll go for it!

First use today, loved it.

There’s a sharp note upon opening the bottle but that’s not the scent that you’ll end up with after dry down. Give it 3 minutes on the skin and it‘s amazing!

I‘m in!

I have found the plastic imparts a bad odor to the juice. I decant into glass first and then it's nothing but sweet smells.
 
I didn’t choose the Veg; the Veg chose me.

There I was in the narrow aisle of Pasteur Pharmacy, staring up at the Clubman Pinaud aftershaves on the top shelves. I had grabbed the original aftershave as planned, and was considering an additional bottle of something else. But which one? I had heard great things about many of them, but I had to be reasonable and pick just one. Just then, a woman came barreling down the aisle, making her way to the back of the store. I turned around and pressed my back against the shelves, trying as best I could to make room for her. In Pasteur’s tight aisles, this is no easy task. After she passed, I turned back around, and in doing so knocked into the shelves. Just as I finished my turn, I saw a bright green object falling from above. Fortunately my reflexes were quick, and I stuck out my hand to catch it as it reached my waist. With my hand shaking from the adrenaline, I clutched the rectangular plastic bottle and read the label. There it was in big capital letters: LILAC VEGETAL. My decision was made.

This may be sacrilege: I ordered some Lilac essential oil and added a few drops to my decanted bottle. What a difference compared to my first day trying The Lilac Vegetal.
Poured some of the decanted with extra Lilac into the misterator.
Haven't posted a pic in 'what are you opening,' but my second 12 oz bottle of Lilac Vegetal is in hand! Or on the shelf.
