Den tour day 13 maybe
Same gear.
Soap- Stirling varen. Now this is a deep and funky fougere. I like fougere but there’s a tiny bit of burn from the oakmoss.
Rankings worst to best
panta rei gattopardo - poor performance and a bit of burn caties bubbles le marche du rasage - nice scent but it burns bodyshop maca root and aloe - good for a brick and mortar shop signature capra - good performance but who likes unscented mitchells woolfat - see above. Also about to leave my den to cross the pond elysium pineapple ambrosia - scent dry down is a bit odd
From here on the scents are all good.
wickham gothic revival - decent scent but not my favourite soap grooming dept mallard corretto - like a black forest gateaux but too sweet for me wickham ninfeo di egeria - light and bright. This one has grown on me and id be tempted to do a tub kill to really get to know it. Soap performance lets it down Stirling varen - great scent but a bit of burn signature brittania - simple but effective Mammoth smash - touch too sweet for me but I love it MdC fougere - great soap and scent barrister and mann sandalwood - top tier scent and soap
