      Thanks 😊

      You’ll probably get bored of them though. I took pictures in this style for the entire week 😅

  I’ve planned a run through all Spearhead scents over the next few days (It’s going to be a trickholecentric week for me), and I’m starting with soft, powdery Heather. Looking at my tower of Spearhead tubs, I’m a bit taken aback by how many of them were absolute hits for me. My least favourite one is Roman Spice, and I really like that one too 😄. I remember my first use of Heather was also my first time competing in the Lather Games four years ago. Good memories. This scent manages to be green and lively without any of the sharp edges of a Fougère Classique, Brut, or Varen. Just happy, butter smooth, vernal green.

  Today’s shave was a bit too early for my taste, so using a childproof extra mild Hydro-magic was fitting. The slightly scrubby Manchurian knot in this Zenith is perfection. No notes.

    Looks like we were thinking alike yesterday.

    This scent manages to be green and lively without any of the sharp edges…Just happy, butter smooth, vernal green.

    This is a spot on description!
