I sometimes use Djunior’s bath time for my shave and toast was such a day. My wife came in after I was done shaving and she went “OMG this smells good!” It turns out that especially the Mountain Man (Creed Silver Mountain Water dupe) + Shire part is pure gold according to her.
The Portal Böker treated me very well again. This one has a super comfortable geometry (once you’ve learned to watch that spikey point 😅) and a smooth edge for easy BBS shaves.
Great last shave of 2023

Love that razor! Mountain Man followed by actual Silver Mountain Water is pretty good too, though the freshness of Shire is hard to beat.

I’ve never smelled Mountain Man and Silver Mountain Water together. It’s the dupe close to the original?

I think the dupe is pretty good. Lacks the depth and sophistication, but that is to be expected. I really like SMW. When I first tried it I thought it was too mild in scent strength but that’s the American in me. I’ve become a bit more worldly fragrance-wise since. It is worth trying a decant I’d say.
