My sample puck is lasting a lot longer than I thought it would. I have still probably a week left of mine to use.

Done with the Black Watch sample. I’m happy to have tried it, but it’s not for me. The sweetness (plum?) is just a little too much for me. I’ve got Roman Spice left of my sampler and I’ve been looking forward to that one the most. Oh, and even after washing this brush with some dish soap, it still had some lingering War funk. Got to keep using it to get it cleaned out…hopefully.
If I had a tub I would definitely send you some. It’s not as bad as others describe but certainly not a crowd pleaser. To me it’s in that same category as Stag with how bold it is.
Vespers was one of those scents I tried really hard to like but never came around to it.

Figured today was the day to try War. To me it is overwhelmingly cilantro-esque with a metallic base. It is certainly not a calming, pleasant, or even enjoyable scent, but it is not wholly repulsive. It is still detectable even beyond my splash and frag. Lather was really good and the shave itself was nice. Happy Sunday!

Extremely good shave and Miss Hoggins loves Azure to boot. Going to the movies later and I am excited for the weekend.

Had a late night early morning ER visit for the miss. Everything is all good thankfully. Using Black Watch for the first time and can’t decide if I love it or am repulsed by it, noses are weird.
Doubtful that I pick a soap or splash of it up, but good enough to enjoy for a few days.
Did he give you the Snoo r/wetshaving punch too? That’s what the red thing looks like to me
