Tridi 23 Prairial an 233 de la Révolution, jour de Chèvrefeuille
Since it is the day of honeysuckle, I chose to try Rose de Pushkar. The owner of Le Père Lucien claims it is his favorite scent (the fact that his wife developed it might be not unrelated), and it is one of his best selling ones. It is very rose-dominant – expectedly – and I like it, even though I don't love it (yet). It is in the same line as Narcisse, so I expected the bases to be similar, but this one is much softer than Narcisse.
I heavily overloaded and could have shaved the cat with the remaining soap. It was always my dream to upgrade her to a sphinx cat, but my wife for some reason doesn't like them, even though they are clearly and objectively the best breed of cats.
This TI has the exact same shape as the new one. But it is much lighter, and also feels different. I don't know whether this is only due to the scales, or whether the steel is different, or whether the edge is different – in any case, both are good!
Have a good night!

I support you shaving your cat. Though I can’t imagine a more difficult thing to do with a cat.
