Top of the World is one of the best scents to come from a wetshaving artisan, IMO. Here’s to a short work day on Friday!

Something about using software primarily of essential oils is really refreshing.

I picked LGC this morning thinking that I need to start making an honest effort at killing this. I wrapped up and sprayed my EdT and today was the first time I ever smelt the cinnamon note of it and it almost blew my head off. It adds nice spicy ness and powderyness to it that I’m just now identifying.

You should get some Mike’s Vetiver and see how it compares.

I got this tub from KerblimeySkal and had it not been for him, I’d not have tried it as soon. The straight Vetiver would def be a good pick up. Most of my Vetiver heavy soaps are from CBubs so I got that area covered already. Who knows I may want some more Mike’s eventually.

I followed u/Old_Hiker sage advice of “Load the shit out of it. Lots of water” for Mike’s and the lather was leaps and bounds better today. Probably could have loaded even more and used even more water, but I got a satisfactory lather and shave today with nothing to complain about.

Probably the worst shave I’ve had in recent memory. Couldn’t get the lather going with this (100% skill issue) but the splash really lit me up with frag burn. Bummed because the scent is great.

Sad that I didn’t pick up this soap earlier. Darker and heavier scents normally aren’t my thing but 322 is very nice this morning.

My observation is that the vegan puck is more white and the tallow is more yellow.

Lather was acceptable at best today. Definitely gonna need more practice with it. This seems to be a harder soap and will probably need more water and loading time to get a good lather. This is scent is light but refreshing as I get mostly orange from it. It paired great with my new Tonsorial Parlour splash as that has that citrus and floral body to it. Happy Tuesday!

Another damn good shave today. Really been trying to work my lathers better by adding more water slowly and my lathers have been awesome. This cream soap did not disappoint either. The scent notes of Amber, Honey, Hay, and Tobacco sounds like it would be heavy and overwhelming (at least for me), but it’s balanced so well that it’s like a very mildly sweet, fresh, yet warm.

Frankly this work week has sucked and I’m glad to have a half day today. This sample puck is lasting a lot longer than I expected. Happy Friday!

Thank you u/partyman97_3 for the reminder of the theme, as I had not checked it. I had to go with a sample u/brokenjaw622 sent me a while back. I’ll admit I was not really a fan of this scent when I initially smelled it, but once lathered up and shaving I was loving it. Finished it off with a splash sample that u/KerblimeySkal sent me awhile back which I think is the watchman. Great shave today with great products from great people in the community. Happy Thursday!

Thank you u/sahenders for providing this month’s and my first Buena Vista shave. While the scent is nice, I have no clue what it smells like without looking it up. The lather took me a minute to get right but it performed very well. Roman Spice is gone and now are all of my Seaforth! samplers. Time to start working on some other stuff.
