Well Day 3 is done. Boar is working well, Zenith brushes are great and decently quick to break in. I am thinking by Day 10 we will already have a great brush that will just keep on getting better. Originally I had stated that I didn't notice much difference between Gen 1 & 2 MMOC, I would like to redact that statement as there is a noticeable difference between the two. Gen 1 is much more "bitey" and a bit harsher than the Gen 2. They are both great razors, but honestly I probably prefer the Gen 2. Let's see if the Gen 1 can change my mind this month, but that is where I am standing right now. Restore is honeyed rose and it smells good. I am hoping I can make a big dent in this tub and hopefully use it up this month, so I am currently loading it like I hate it even though I really like the scent. One thing that is quite funny; I purchased a pump top for my Restore and Stones balms, which require a different pump. Those pumps shoot that stuff out with some force! I still haven't gotten the touch down and every morning I keep falling victim to an explosion of Restore balm splatting ricochet all over me and the mirror. Great stuff that absorbs quickly and is light though. I feel like Grey Vetiver is a scent that I could never get tired of, so I am glad I picked it for AA.
