Jan 29, 2025 - Westman Wednesday: Alma

- Razor: Blackland Razors Blackbird Ti
- Blade: Gillette Platinum [16]
- Lather: Westman Shaving - Alma - Soap

Using a suggestion from ChatGPT, I paired Alma with the PdM Layton dupe, Opulence, for a very enjoyable line up.

Did you feed your entire den into ChatGPT?
-
Seconding the question. We deserve details!
-
Haha, that could be an interesting project.
ChatGPT is pretty good at looking up scent notes for Wetshaving products, and then I just asked for complimentary fragrances or scent notes. I was curious to see what it would come up with.

The hunt continues. I'm almost at full-on soap donut status.
I'd love to get this Wallflower scent in soap form if TSF ever puts it out. I'll have to keep an eye out. It's a delightful scent.
Have a good day y'all! I'm off for a week after today, and then only two more days at my current job next week. I'm very excited for the change.
