First shave with my new-to-me MMOC went pretty well. It certainly feels more aggressive than my other GEM, a first-gen Clog-Pruf.
I was slightly sloppy around my chin and got a couple of weepers. I think I just need to slow down a bit more and focus on my angle.
Good results overall though. It’s an impressive little razor.

Sticking with this soap to see if:
- My nose will learn to smell it better (don’t call me crazy, this has happened before I swear)
- Maybe the deeper I go into the soap, the more frag oilz I’ll find
Both sort of suspect hypotheses, but hey, whatever.
I have a hard time with Indigo as well. Everyone else loves the scent when I wear it, but I can’t help but think there’s parts of the scent that I’m missing out on. Some days I think I can pick up the scent better than others.
I know what you mean. Some days I think “oh yeah, ok”, and other days (like today) I look around for the accent and don’t find much.
I’ve experienced number 1 myself with both Mindigo and Hygge
