The “small” 24 mm knot on the Washington is really nice to use and makes me question the trend to large badger knots. Usually this lasts until I use a large badger knot, at which point I remember why.

Cerberus Fougère caused me some anguish over the last couple weeks because I couldn’t find it. It seemed to have simply disappeared. I checked everywhere that made sense and some more places. Then yesterday, I found it right where it’s supposed to be, in my half of the bathroom cabinet, and I have no idea how I hadn’t immediately found it all this time. I must be getting old.

This was a fun scent progression, from earthy-citrussy over earthy-floral to earthy-green.
